Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 bags Small bags of Fritos
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 packet Chili seasoning mix
- 1 15 oz can Canned chili beans
- 1 14.5 oz can Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Sliced green onions
- 0.25 cup Jalapeño slices (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally to break it up, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the chili seasoning mix, canned chili beans (with liquid), and canned diced tomatoes (with liquid). Reduce heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the chili mixture simmers, prepare your toppings: shred the cheddar cheese, slice the green onions, and arrange any additional toppings such as sour cream or jalapeño slices.
Open the small bags of Fritos by cutting along the side of each bag to create an open, pouch-like container.
Spoon a generous portion of the hot chili mixture directly into each open Fritos bag.
Top each bag with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, sliced green onions, and optional jalapeño slices for some spice.
Serve immediately with a fork. Enjoy this portable and flavorful meal straight from the bag!
