This dip is amazingly delicious layers of ground beef (or you can use turkey), beans, cheese and then loaded with crushed Fritos. I personally also like to add a smear of sour cream along with a topping of salsa over it for some more yummy Mexican flavors. But however you prepare this dish, I assure you it will be delicious and totally worth it. You are going to be the cool mom who brings Fritos dip to your kid’s party. I bet no one else does that!
I will admit, this one of my favorite junk food/snack options these days as well. It’s full of amazing crunchy chips and all the goodness a Mexican restaurant serves. What can be better than that?
