Frito Pie
With the changing of seasons comes different recipes for the season. One of our favorites for when the weather turns cooler is Frito Pie! A delicious and hearty appetizer for the chilly nights. There's many different recipes out there but this is the one we usually prepare.
Frito Pie
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pound 99%-lean ground turkey
3 cloves Garlic, Minced (optional)
1/2 cup mild chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth or chicken broth
16 5- to 6-inch corn tortillas
Cooking spray, preferably canola oil
2 15-ounce cans dark red kidney beans, rinsed, divided
2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese or sharp Cheddar cheese
1 medium tomato, diced
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 bunch scallions, sliced
1 small jar of jalapenos
PREPARATION
Position racks in middle and lower third of oven; preheat to 375°F.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and turkey; cook, stirring and breaking up with a spoon, until the turkey is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and broth and bring to a simmer. Partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally and maintaining a simmer, for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, coat both sides of each tortilla with cooking spray. Cut them in half, then cut each half into 1-inch strips. Spread the strips on 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Bake, rotating the pans from top to bottom and stirring halfway through, until crisp, about 25 minutes.
Mash 1 cup beans in a bowl. After the chili has simmered for 30 minutes, stir in the mashed beans and whole beans. Cook until the beans are heated through, about 3 minutes more.
To serve, place about 3/4 cup tortilla strips in each of 8 shallow bowls. Ladle about 1 1/4 cups chili on top. Garnish with cheese, tomato, lettuce, scallions and jalapeƱos (if desired).
