C.E. Doolin started the Frito Company in 1932 in San Antonio, Texas. Having purchased the Fritos Corn Chips recipe for just $100, Doolin laid the groundwork for what would one day become a snacking empire. The simple chip is made from only three ingredients-whole corn, corn oil and salt -and contains no preservatives and no cholesterol. Today, that same three-ingredient recipe remains the heart of the brand's success.
While most often loved straight from the bag, the crunchy snack has been used as a side dish for warm dinners, as a topping for soups and salads and as an ingredient in pastas and casseroles.
Yet the brand's most timeless recipe remains the Fritos Chili Pie -one of America's favorite snack-food creations.
First developed in the late 1930s by C.E. Doolin's mother Daisy, the pie can still be found on menus across America.
Made with crisp, golden chips topped with a layer of warm and hearty chili, this classic dish promises to accompany the chips through another 75 tasty years.
