This one has become one of my family's go-to dinners, when we are not in the mood to cook. :) Why? The hardest this meal gets in our family is heating up a can of chili. It's a good meal in the summer or the winter. It's actually an easier take on the Navajo Taco. Instead of the fried bread, we use Fritos chips. Layer on the other ingredients and it is a very family-friendly meal. Our kids love that they can have chips for dinner with "sauce on top".
I have NO IDEA where this recipe began, I was introduced to it at my awesome in-laws' home. Thanks to them, we don't have to spend a crazy amount of money to eat at a restaurant when we want an easy dinner. Really, try this, it is delicious!
Chili Haystacks:
1 bag Fritos chips, regular or the scoops
1-15 oz. can chili, we like the Hormel with beans variety, but any will do great
shredded lettuce, for garnish
shredded cheese, for garnish
diced tomatoes, for garnish
Heat up the chili in a small saucepan on the stove until it is heated through, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, chop up a head of lettuce, grate some cheese, and cut up the tomato. First, place the desired amount of chips on your plate, top with however much chili you like. Garnish with the lettuce, cheese and tomato, as desired. Enjoy!
