A Frito pie typically consists of a small single-serving bag of Fritos (plain [[corn]] [[chips]] / [[tortilla chips]]), with a cup of [[chili]] poured over the top, usually finished up with [[grated]] [[cheese]] or [[onions]] and jalapeños and [[sour cream]]. Frito pies are popular in the Southwestern United States.

This dish is similar to [[Cheese nachos]] and the original [[Easy frito pie]].
