According to Hungry Gerald: The Frito Pie is constructed of chopped meat on a bed of Fritos flavored with red chile sauce (no, not that stuff in a bottle but a fiery, long simmered sauce made from Hatch chiles.). It is topped with grated American cheese, chopped onions and salsa. As the saying goes: Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.
Simpler Version: We’ve always topped our Fritos with Chili and Nacho Cheese for this concession stand favorite. Try it!

Before Meeting Prep: Wash T-shirts with no fabric softener. Purchase or gather:
Prep shirts at the meeting by inserting the cardboard and draw on a circle with the fabric marker using the plate as a guide. Lay out the shirts at one side of your meeting place. Select girls to come over one at a time. Have another activity going on with your co-leader at other side of group. Let each girl choose their color and give them a little bit of paint and fabric medium to stir together (according to fabric medium package instructions). Apply the paint to one hand and using the circle as a guide press down on the shirt. Do every girl’s hand for each shirt. After all have been printed, and mostly dry – add the names to the hands and “Friendship Circle” in the middle, and your troop number at the bottom. Makes great shirts for those times the girls aren’t wearing the full uniform, but want to look like a troop!
Do this craft in accordance with learning the Girl Scout Friendship Circle:
Meaning: The friendship circle is often formed at the end of meetings or campfires as a sort of closing ceremony. Everyone gathers in a circle where they cross their right arm over their left in front of them and hold hands with the people on either side. Once everyone is silent, the leader starts the friendship squeeze which is passed from hand to hand. Often the girls will make a wish after their hand has been squeezed before they pass the squeeze along. Also, in some larger groups, the girls put their right foot out into the circle when they receive the friendship squeeze, so that everyone can see it travel along the circle.
| 3-4 | Large whole wheat tortilla’s, or enough to cut out 12 small circles (I prefer low carb/high fiber tortillas) |
| 1 cup | Lean ground turkey, cooked (or lean ground beef or 1 cup Morning Star Meatless Crumbles™) |
| 1/2 cup | Salsa of choice (I used one with corn) |
| 2 tsp | Dry taco seasoning |
| 1/2 cup | Low fat refried beans |
| 1/2 cup | Low fat shredded mexican blend or 2% cheddar cheese |
| Optional | Toppings: sliced black olives, shredded lettuce, low fat sour cream, chopped tomatoes |
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 12 count muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Start by laying each tortilla out individually on a flat surface, and use an empty can, glass cup, or cookie cutter to cut 3-4 medium circles out of each wrap.
Press each wrap circle into muffin tin using your fingers. (Note: it doesn’t have to cover the entire side of the tin, it should just fit snuggly!)
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the ground meat, salsa, taco seasoning, and refried beans. Stir until well combined.
These are adorable!
