Frito Salad Recipe

Recipe By Serious Eats

While i'd never eaten a frito salad before this week, i am very familiar with bean-heavy taco salads. These i'd eat as a teenager, convinced that they were healthier than tacos themselves, even when decorated with several handfuls of tortilla chips. Lisa fain's frito salad in her new cookbook, the homesick texan's family table, is much better than those salads i ate as a kid.
