Frito pie

Chili poured over corn chips sounds like a dare, and that is half its charm. Fritos were created in San Antonio in 1932 by Charles Doolin, and Texans credit his family kitchen with the first chili pie. New Mexico points instead to the Woolworth counter in Santa Fe, where Teresa Hernandez sold thousands in the 1960s, though a 1949 company record already lists a "Fritos chili pie." Whoever got there first, the dish belongs to Texas Friday nights, sold at football games as a fundraiser. Add cheese and raw onion, eat it straight from the bag, and enjoy the crunch before it softens.
