With my lovely foodie friend Sarah from Fritos and Foie Gras and a few of our favorite hungry gal pals, I indulged in a life changing meal at Cowgirl - a Frito® Pie. Yes, you heard me right. This “Texas tradition” is a heaping pile of beef brisket or veggie chili (your choice, but I obviously went with the meaty option), melted cheddar, onions, sour cream and jalapeƱos bursting out of a bag of Fritos®. When looking at this glorious mess, one will either be immediately starving or grossed out. I couldn't wait to dive into the piping hot chili, gooey cheese, tender beef, and crispy corn chips. The jalapeƱos added a mild spice; while the creamy and smooth sour cream perfectly balanced all of the flavors without being overwhelming or drowning anything out. This may not be a diet-friendly dish, but it is worth the cheat. And who didn’t love crunching on Fritos® as a kid while watching TGIF?
Cowgirl. 519 Hudson St.
