"Frito Pie" is not a pastry at all. Take
a small packet of fritos, open the top,
spoon in hot chili, minced onions,
shredded cheese, wrap it in a napkin,
and serve it with a spoon. Great
"hand" food at football games, etc.
You can make it like a taco salad type dish using fritos instead of torilla chips - add seasoned beef, beans, salsa, and your other favorite stuff like black olives, top with cheese and bake to melt together. It's like a walking taco in a casserole.
It can also be made with chile instead of taco fixins. Still topped with cheese and baked.

A good homemade chili, (or your favorite can if your pressed for time) over a layer of Fritos, topped with chopped onion, shredded cheese, maybe some pico, and sour cream.

If I'm making it for a group, I put it in a baking dish.

That would be a Petro. It was first served during the 1982 Worlds Fair along with orange tea. Both yummy! There are Petro's Restaurants around here.
my mom made chili and put it over fritos in a bowl add whatever toppings you want, shredded cheese, onions, tomatoes, olives, shredded lettuce and sour cream or salsa.....then add a few more fritos to the top mix and feast!
