Taking something as simple as corn chips and adding a variety of toppings has turned into the go-to meal for many American families. What many don't know is that the Frito pie originally came to fruition in the state of New Mexico. Texas has argued that they are the true originators of the chip and meat mixture, but the city of Santa Fe's promotion of the filling meal would make you think otherwise.
Hoards of ground beef spiced up with taco seasoning, cumin, garlic, and chili powder, lettuce, cheese, tomato, and onions placed on top of salty, crunchy Frito corn chips is an unorthodox feast that can feed an entire family. The Frito pie has become a tradition made for family gatherings and celebrations alike. It's extremely easy to make, not time-consuming, and extremely hard not to admire. Sorry Texas, New Mexico holds the throne as the best Frito pie makers in the nation.
