FRITO ENCHILADA PIE



Frito Enchilada Pie image

This frito enchilada pie is one of those EASY, quick meals that will make your family smile. I always have lunchbox size bags of Fritos left, always!! I decided I didn't want to do the typical Frito chili pie, so I did a Enchilada version.

Categories     Beef

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 c small fritos
3 c cooked ground beef, taco seasoned
3 c grated cheese
10 oz can of enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • 1. I poured the Fritos into a large bowl, added the cooked ground beef and 2 c of cheese and tossed it to mix.
  • 2. I emptied it into my elec skillet, but you can certainly use a casserole dish and heat it in the oven.
  • 3. I sprinkled on the rest of the cheese and poured the enchilada sauce on top. I set my skillet to the "warm" setting, placed the lid on, and in about 15 min it was bubbly hot and the cheese was melted.
  • 4. Garnish with sour cream, pico de gallo, salsa, salad, whatever your heart desires.
