Gourmet

This is what happens when your wife goes out with her friends and you get to make ridiculous food for yourself:

Frito Pie.

That's Fritos®, a can of chili, Tillamook® cheddar, and pickled jalapeños.

And yes, that's a paper plate.  It just seemed... appropriate,  somehow.

Fucking. Delicious.

  2. Now that is some trashy food, not that I'm knocking it. How much sodium do you think that meal had?

    1. Too much. I was surprised that the can of chili was "only" 640 calories.

  3. I just checked. The chili had 2040 mg of sodium, and the fritos had approximately 720. I have no idea about the cheese or jalapeños.

    So yeah, too much. Yum.

  4. You had me until the jalapeños. No one really likes them; people add them just to be trendy.

    1. You could definitely leave them off. I agree that a lot of people obsess about peppers in general, and I'm not a fan of anything spicier than a mild jalapeño. I will note that the ones I used here are "tamed" jalapeños -- pickled, and not very spicy at all. Think more along the lines of a tangy, slightly spicy green pepper or even a spicy pickle. In fact, they're not even as spicy as some pickles I've had.
