Why didn't I ever think to do that? We love fritos, cheese, onions and sour cream on our chili and this is a fun variation of having it in the bowl - I love it! I would be perfect for our tailates, too. We do a similar thing called "Walking Tacos", using a slit individual size bag of Doritos, taco meat, and any "toppers" you want to add - fold over the top of the bag, shake it up, grab a fork and dig in. Next time I make chili, I am definitely going to try your "walking chili"!

We just did this for my daughter's sweet sixteenth birthday party. All the kids thought I was the smartest mom on the block for thinking up "frito pie". I had to laugh because this is something we used to do when I was a kid. The kids had a blast adding all the various mix-ins to the basic fritos and chili and cheese. I had sour cream, jalapenos, crumbled bacon, slivered green onions, chopped tomatoes, pickled red onions, diced white onions, monterey jack cheese/cheddar cheese and slivered banana peppers.
We also had a huge pan of macaroni and cheese and let everyone scoop their own bowl of mac-n-cheese and add mix-ins as they wish. My daughter has several vegetarian friends and they wouldn't eat the chili, so they had their own varaiation. It was a huge success. Long live, FRITO Pie.
