Frito Pie
Frito Pie <p> There is question whether the Frito Pie &mdash; a popular snack at sporting events or carnivals &mdash; originated in Texas, or New Mexico. <a href="http://how2heroes.com/videos/profiles/about-amanda-escamilla">Amanda Escamilla</a> (a native Texan), is diplomatic about the debate, but we know where she stands. Regardless, Frito Pie is a snack in which you have not lived until you&#39;ve tried. A small bag of Fritos&reg; is cut open on the side (these steps are very specific, so watch Amanda&#39;s technique carefully) and mounded with meaty, flavorful chili, cheese and onion. Not much more to be said.</p>

There is question whether the Frito Pie — a popular snack at sporting events or carnivals — originated in Texas, or New Mexico. Amanda Escamilla (a native Texan), is diplomatic about the debate, but we know where she stands. Regardless, Frito Pie is a snack in which you have not lived until you've tried. A small bag of Fritos® is cut open on the side (these steps are very specific, so watch Amanda's technique carefully) and mounded with meaty, flavorful chili, cheese and onion. Not much more to be said.
