Warm up with an irreverant song or two, then dump a can of chili con carne into a saucepan over medium-high heat. Grate the cheese of your choice–busy actors buy cheddar already shredded.
Open a small can of chopped black olives. If you’ve saved enough money for your relocation to Hollywood, consider springing for a sprig of cilantro or an avocado.
Cut open a snack-size packet of Fritos along one long edge. Cup the “boat” in one hand along with your dreams, impossible or otherwise.
Ladle the chili over corn chips, then sprinkle with cheese and olives, diced green onions, cilantro and/or avocado, and attitude. Grab a fork, and own your Frito Boat. Style is everything.
The Frito Boat, while delicious, is somewhat of a hazard. The chili makes the bag INCREDIBLY hot, so be careful if you try this recipe. The recipe comes from Melissa's autobiography/memoir, Gringa, which I totally recommend.
Alex was uncertain, but now he is eating his third one. Success!
