OH, Forks!™ Frito Pie

Many say that this original helped to create the 1960s up-and-coming favorite, “Walking Tacos-” which were also known as, “New Mexico in a Bag” back in the day. Enjoy!

Chicken Fajita Bowl

In our house, we love Mexican food and spicy flavors! Having hot fajitas during the day wasn’t cutting it, so we cooled things down a little with this lunch-style bowl! Of course, you can eat it heated, or cooled; whichever you prefer! We make this dish over the weekend to eat through the week, which also gives it plenty of time to chill and develop those flavors!
