Crispy corn chips. Quick and easy ground turkey green chile chili. Cheese! and any and all the toppings. Bar food/fair food/walking tacos made to sit down and eat: this green chile frito pie is a mashup of so many of my favorite things and as a bonus I suspect it’s actually kinda healthy. Let’s get […]
