Maybe the two main ingredients were first mixed together in New Mexican, but Fritos and chili both call Texas home.

Why apologize. New Mexico and Colorado are merely on loan to the US from the Republic of Texas (making fun of puny states since 1845). If you can't get your act together, we will send one of our Rangers over to get our mountains back.

There are Native Texans
And grateful Texans
and Texan wannabes.

Unfortunately for the rest of you it has not been given to you to know the joy of God's country. Learn to deal with it.

New Mexico the birthplace of Frito Pie? You're suffering from altitude sickness up there in Santa Fe. I'll give you burritos.

But Fritos were invented in San Antonio by a guy who sold 'em off a cart, way before the company was formed and started shipping out of state. We ate 'em with chili from the booths on the plaza at Fiesta. And the SA school system had Frito Pie on their school lunch menu as far back as 1948.

No reason to be sorry, we gave up New Mexico long ago, not enough oil, but remember where you came from!
