Grilled Stuffed Fritos Archives

I’m always on the lookout for something new and different to grill. One of my favorite blogs, Nibble Me This, is a great place to go for inspiration or new ideas, like these completely awesome grilled Fritos stuffed with a ground beef mixture and topped with cheese and a Southwestern sauce.

The biggest challenge to making grilled stuffed Fritos is finding enough pretty Fritos. The best way is to pour the bag out onto a few baking sheets and start searching! It took me two bags to find enough perfect ones to make a batch.

If you have a Char-Broil Big Easy you can also make these stuffed Fritos on it.

Ingredients

2 large bags Fritos Scoops
1 pound very lean ground beef
1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese shredded
3 tablespoons Homemade Taco seasoning or 1 packet store-bought
¼ cup enchilada sauce I used La Victoria mild
2 tablespoons red bell pepper diced
2 tablespoons green bell pepper diced
2 tablespoons cilantro diced
¼ cup Southwestern sauce

Instructions

Setup your grill for indirect cooking at 350 F.
Mix all ingredients except the Southwestern sauce in a large bowl.
Find 48 or so (you might need a few more) perfect Frito Scoop chips. You want ones with a nice scoop that will stand up without rolling over.
Spoon 1 tablespoon (more or less, depending on the size of the chips) of the meat mixture into each chip.
Grill chips about 20 minutes or until the meat hits 165 F with an instant-read thermometer.
Serve drizzled with the Southwestern sauce.
