Iīve heard of Frito Pie. I think itīs a regional thing. Yours looks
great, and I love the presentation.

It's a TX thing. I first heard of it in my 9th grade Home Ec class. Two boys
made it for our final cook/bake off. Everyone was impressed because we
thought they invented it. The got an F becaause they used canned chili.
My partner insisted that we make Toll House cookies. I balked because I
could make those in my sleep. She said that was exactly *why* we were going
to make them.
We were allowed two days. So we made and chilled the dough on day one. Baked
on day two. We won.
She's a lawyer now and has gone on to win many cooking/baking contests. She
lives in CA and has a HUGE garden. Her niece was on Chopped Jr. some years
back. She didn't win though.
