    4. 15-ounce can tomato sauce
    5. 6-ounce can tomato paste
    6. 1–2 Tablespoons chili powder (or to taste)
    7. 1 teaspoon ground cumin

    3. Diced red onion
    4. Minced jalapeño peppers

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown and crumble 2 pounds ground beef along with 3 cloves garlic and 1 small onion. Drain excess grease and return to skillet.
  • Add in 15-ounce can tomato sauce, 6-ounce can tomato paste, 1-2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 2 teaspoons salt, and ¾ cup water. Stir until well combined.
  • Turn heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for at least 20 minutes.
  • Place the 9.25-ounce bag of Fritos corn chips in a large bowl or on a plate.
  • Top with the chili mixture. You can serve this as a single large serving or as individual servings.
  • Add desired toppings: sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, diced red onion, and minced jalapeño peppers. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the level of chili powder to your taste for spiciness.
  • You can use beef broth instead of water for a richer flavor.
  • For a lighter version, try substituting lean ground turkey for the beef.
