Yes it's baked. That's what Frito Pie is. Walking Tacos are a different thing. Frito Pie has been around for decades. People may call Walking Tacos Frito Pie. That doesn't make it true.

heheh, even though I've lived south of the Mason Dixon line for almost
41 years now (2/3 of my life), I'm still to this day teased about
being a Yankee sometimes by a few. I suspect the old-school south
still has a grudge about losing the Civil War. heheh

Just like a city person retires and moves up into the mountains into a
small rural town. You will always remain the "new person" until
another outsider moves there.

Anyway, I googled the frito pie thing and I don't see any difference
between that or nachos' other than what kind of chips that you
use....fritoes or tortilla chips.

It is like that in any rural town. Unless you grew up there and went to
school with everyone you will always be an outsider. I worked for the
provincial government and knew some guys who had transferred to the
northern part of the province and they all had problems fitting in. They
were always treated like an outsider. I noticed a similar thing when
we moved from a town to a small city in the middle of my first year of
high school. I became fast friends with a guy who had done the same. I
ended up having more friends from the other high schools in the city
than my own, and the circles of friends tended to be the guys who had
gone to elementary school together.


Our village is a corner.... hardware store, convenience store, bakery,
two restaurants and bank. We live in "the Gennings place" because the
Gennings family lived here when their kids were in elementary school.
Gennings only lived here for about 10 years. Someone else lived here for
a few years between us and them, and I know a couple other people who
had lived here for a short time. We have been here 37 years now. We are
the only ones who ever paid of the mortgage and actually owned it. We
even had one of the Gennings here for the mortgage burning party. ....
but the locals still call it the Gennings place.

Nachos are just chips and cheese. Start screwing around with them and
they're called "super nachos"... which is something else I'll leave to
other people to hork down.

My good friend, who moved to Raleigh NC, had the same type of comment
about the South. She's one of those super nice people with a magnetic
personality that everybody likes. She said they'll smile, be polite
and exude Southern hospitality - but she'll never be accepted as "one
of them".

They might like it if they tried it. It would be getting them to try it.
People here are big into health foods. They would likely object to the mere
concept of it.

I am often astounded at things people claim to eat in the South. I used to
talk online to this guy in TX and he would tell me of things that he ate.
Huge portions of fried things with added stuff like cheese and sour cream.
We just don't eat like that up here. Sure you can find a few restaurants
that serve stuff like that but mostly it is lighter fare.

I don't know where you get your ideas from! The way you phrase things, it
sounds like you get the names from some chain restaurant or fast food place.
Nachos are however you make them. I like mine with beans, onions, tomatoes,
cilantro and black olives. Easy on the cheese as I have to use faux cheese
and it can be overwhelming.

My parents only liked the chips and cheese thing. I'd rather not even bother
eating those. Borrrrrrrrring!

From Wiki
Nachos are a popular food based on nixtamalized corn, of Mexican
origin that can be either made quickly to serve as a snack or entree
or prepared more elaborately and with more ingredients to make a full
meal. In their simplest form, nachos are tortilla chips (totopos)
covered in nacho cheese or melted shredded cheese; however, nachos can
also be eaten plain. First created circa 1943 by Ignacio "Nacho"
Anaya, the original nachos consisted of fried corn tortillas covered
with melted cheddar cheese and sliced jalapeño peppers.

You gotta have the peppers, please.
Janet US

Well I dont like to go around correcting seasoned citizens from North of the Mighty Red River..but Frito Chili Pies and Nachos are hosses of a different color..so to speak. Nachos is fried corn taurplian chips with refried beans (the poor Tex Mex cant do anything right the first time ya know?) smeared on the chips..then you put cheese and sliced pickled japs on top of that..for heat tolerant types. So in contrast a Frito Chili Pie is a bag of Fritos with chili..cheese and raw onions in it. Now how them two things are similar I aint got a clue. Do you know? lol

Dang that is a small town. Big City life has its good points too. You dont know them and they dont know you. Don't have folks nose in da bizness 24-7 if you get my drift. Pros and cons either way.

It's a supa duppa great idea! You open a big can of chili and dump it in
a giant bag of chips. What could be more pure in concept? I call it a
super big dump - as in, "boy, I sure could go for a super big dump!"

Ok..well sounds like they might need some tofu wrapped in arugula. Bet they would like that.

I've been a Texan for almost 20 years and I don't give a darn about what
you read on the internet. I know the difference between Frito pie and a
walking taco.

IIRC when I went to high school in Amarillo, in the late 50's, we called
those pepper bellies.
