I got the chili, you see. I got plenty of chili: not spicy at all, but tasty enough. And I’d have to get the Fritos anyway; so if there’s other stuff that I should be adding to said pie – yes, cheese, obviously – that I can pick up tomorrow, then I’m happy to listen to your suggestions as to what those things should be. My only concern is that it should all be easy to put together. I don’t want to spend two hours in the kitchen when I’m essentially jazzing up my leftovers.

It is horrible and not fit for a dog.
A teeny squirt of yellow mustard and fimely chopped onion under the cheese.
Agreed, except I sometimes use spicy mustard for a bit more flavor. Depends on how bland the chili is, though…and obviously your tolerance for spices.
Fritos, chili, cheese, onions, dash of Tabasco. And a baseball game.
Traditionally, you’d use individual sized bags of fritos, open one up, dump in some (hot) chili, smother it with grated cheddar. I’d use jalapenos if you wanted more heat. Grated or finely chopped white or red onion, maybe. Other traditional chili toppings, like sour cream or cilantro, less likely.
With the chili on the fritos, they will soften up. If you have some picky eaters and that’s a problem, maybe make a chili cheese dip? Melted velvetta, mixed with chili, eaten with chips as dippers.
Note that the traditional way of doing this is to slice them open on the side. And then go sit in the stands on Friday night for some high school football.
