Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 bag Fritos Scoops Use scooping-style Fritos for better holding capacity.
  • 1 15 oz can Hormel Chili with Beans You can use any preferred brand of chili.
  • 1 cup queso blanco dip Warm until smooth and pourable.
  • 1 cup shredded taco or cheddar cheese Other cheeses can be used based on preference.
  • 1 cup sour cream Adds creaminess to the dish.
  • 1 cup chunky salsa Choose your favorite salsa.
  • 2–3 jalapeños, sliced Adjust quantity based on spice preference.
  • 2 green onions, sliced For garnishing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the chili according to the can directions until hot.
  2. Warm the queso blanco until smooth and pourable.
Assembly
  1. Fill serving bowls with a generous layer of Fritos Scoops.
  2. Spoon the hot chili evenly over the chips.
  3. Drizzle warm queso over the chili.
  4. Sprinkle with shredded cheese while everything is still hot so it begins to melt.

  6. Top with chunky salsa, sliced jalapeños, and green onions.
  7. Serve immediately while the chips are still crisp.

Notes

For an extra kick, consider adding your favorite hot sauce to the chili or as a drizzle on top. You can switch the base by using other chips like tortilla chips or kettle-cooked chips.
