Frito Chili Pie From The Pioneer Woman Recipes

THE PIONEER WOMAN'S FRITO CHILI PIE

Steps:

• Brown the meat in a large pot, breaking it apart as you cook, and when it's no longer pink, add the garlic. Cook for a minute or two more.
• Add tomato sauce, Rotel, salt, oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Bring everything up to a boil, then lower the heat and cover the pan. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• Add drained and rinsed beans. Stir to combine, then cover and simmer for another 20 minutes.
• Stir together the masa with the water until there are no more lumps, then add to the chili. Stir to combine and simmer for a final 10 to 15 minutes.
• To serve ladle some of the chili into each bag of Fritos, and top with cheese and onion. Alternatively put the Fritos in bowls and top the same way.

CHILI PIE BURRITOS

Steps:

• For the chili: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the ground beef and brown, crumbling as you go, until cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the kidney beans, tomato sauce, tomatoes and green chiles, chili powder, salt and pepper, then bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer and thicken, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• For the burritos: Add about 1 cup chili to a tortilla, then top with grated Cheddar and some diced onion. Add a handful of corn chips and a dollop of sour cream. Tuck the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly, then set aside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil. In batches, toast the burritos until golden, about 1 minute per side.
