This is technically your fault.Ā
The food trucks up here ALL sell Taco in a Bag. Ā Iād never heard of it before, but itās really, really popular.
Did you hear that, Sci? The food trucks sell it. The food trucks.
I have to admit Iāve never actually seen it sold anywhere, like, Iāve only seen it done whilst camping/roadtripping. So thatās an interesting regional variation.

Sam! Youāre from here, how have you never had Frito Pie?
I donāt eat fritos! And technically Iām not from Texas :D I did most of my growing-up in California, my folks moved to Texas after I left for college.Ā
I mean Iāve seen Frito Pie, but I always assumed that was something served to you in a paper boat from Sonic.Ā

i have never heard of this before but i will be a hero for introducing it to my family thank you
Itās interesting, you can kind of tell the non-Statesiders by their horrified reactions, except the Canadians (Kamaete I donāt know if youāre Canadian, you just had a good segue) who all want to put it in their faces immediately.
Which actually makes sense, itās like Poutineās trashiest cousin.

Scouts Canada (BC) here and weāve done taco in a bag. We do it backwards by giving them a bag of salad & then adding taco meat, cheese, sauce, Ā tortilla chips & other veggies. Way to sneak in more veggies as theyāre limited in space for the add-ins.
That is devious and evil.

Huh. Now that you described it I do know what that is, but I feel like no one ever uses the same term twice so I have to have it explained to me everytime. Also scouting makes me imagine Bucky eating bag nachos while surveilling a a HYDRA base.
YES. Sam must have introduced him to it. Probably he introduced Steve to it too, so heās like, sitting there with two super soldiers, and all you can hear is crunching and the crinkle of mylar bags.Ā

Theyāre call frito boats! Have you heard of/seen a baked potato bar? I had a coworker who loved frito boats so much, the chef of the restaurant we all worked at made a frito boat bar for her 30th birthday, complete with all possible trimmings.
I donāt have a witty response for this, I just think itās fucking delightful :D
I have absolutely never heard of this. How would this work? Is the chili hot? Do you melt the cheese? Is it safe to put hot things in a plastic bag??
Iām from Washington and I have many questions about this.
Itās okay to put hot stuff in chip bags as long as itās not SUPER SMOKINā HOT, I think. But my best answer is that apparently you need to visit Santa Fe:
Thatās Frito Pie, and theoretically it was invented at the Five and Dime in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Ā The New Mexico version is usually a bag of Fritos, pinto beans, red chile, sometimes meat, and then toppings like cheese and onions. And you can still get it at the Five and Dime. And lo, it is delicious.
Can any mortal truly lay claim to the genius of the chili-on-chips-in-a-bag, though?
