Comfort  Food Classic:  Chili Frito Pie

THIS MESS IS OURS

Some days call for comfort food and for this southern girl there is no greater comfort food on the planet (in my humble opinion) than a gigantic bowl of Chili Frito Pie!

Talk about hit the spot delicious; crunchy salty corn chips, homemade chili, rice and cheese - totally swoon worthy!

My west coast take on the southern classic has layers of Mexican green rice, fire roasted chili, cilantro and lots of lime wedges on the side.

I like to make a big batch of chili for dinner one night then use the leftovers for Chili Frito Pie a few nights later. It's two totally different meals that my family can't get enough of!

Ingredients: – corn chips – Mexican green rice (recipe on the blog) – homemade chili to serve – cilantro leaves – shredded sharp cheddar – finely chopped onions – lime wedges – Optional, but also delicious: avocado, sour cream, green onions, pipits

Divide the corn chips between 4 serving bowls. Layer each bowl with Mexican green rice, chili, and toppings of choice. Serve immediately.
