Frito Chili Pie

islandgirl77551's Note:

A great quick meal that was a favorite in my family when I was growing up and that my kids love too! Recipe has been adjusted to 2 cans of chili as suggested by reviewers. I normally use one and don't use the entire bag of fritos. You can adjust the chili to frito ratio to your taste. More chili is always good.

This is just sooo goood. I took it to a potluck and everyone loved it. I forgot to rate it (months ago - sorry) but my daughter is having a pot luck and I thought about this recipe again! Love the addition of the tamales.

Nice easy supper. I added 2 cans of chili as it looked alittle 'dry' with one. Will make again :)

Frito Chili Pie has been one of my favorites for years. The tamales add a nice addition to regular Frito Chili Pie. Quick and easy. Thanks islandgirl77551. Bullwinkle.
