I love Chili frito pie! I know fritos are like the worst chips out there tho. Does anyone know of a good replacement for them? I just love the crunch with the chili. I know I can already make low cal/fat chili or even buy it. I was just needed a frito sub.

Any ideas?? TIA!

    You can take tortilla shells cut them into strips and bake them at 350F until they are crisp.
    If you get the jalapeno or chipolte ones you'll have some extra flavor.

    I use the plain corn tortillas and do this when I make chicken tortilla soup. Some people say to spray them with oil but the get crispy without it.

    I've also cut them into wedges and baked them to use with salsa. Not good for a crowd but for just me it worked.
