Also you can take a small bag of corn chips, open it the,n put warm chili and shredded cheese on it and you have a frito pie. These are great for when the teens are over.

Another idea is to use corn chips instead of nacho flavored chips. This is a fun snack/meal and easy too!

I had this when I was younger...we called it "walking tacos" because they're so portable. This is such a fun and easy snack/meal and the nacho flavored chips give an extra fun flavor!
