Fritos Taco Bowl

This taco bowl is layers of deliciousness. Fritos are topped with rice and then a mixture of meat beans and tomatoes, followed by some cheese. The salty, crispy Fritos make this dish, plus having the rice in this dish did not make me feel so bad about eating the Fritos.

This dish can be made either in the crock pot or on the stove top, which gives you options based on your schedule and the amount of time you have. 

I topped the bowls with cheese but you could also add sour cream, taco sauce or salsa and guacamole.
