It's a regional treat VERY popular in Baja Norte. They sell it from the carts on the beach and in the border lanes. They rip the chips bag open
sideways and build the snack in layers right in the bag. Everyone has their favorite toppings. Not my thing though for sure. I prefer guacamole to
pickled pig skin on my chips.

Sell them at the high school football games here in Chula Vista (Chulajuana as some say!)
I've never tried them, but the kids love them!Woooosh - 3-21-2012 at 02:59 PM

Probably the same people from TJ selling them in Chula Vista, closer to home. elizabeth - 3-21-2012 at 04:23 PM
Sounds like an expansion and variant of the old rodeo/powwow favorite...frito pie. Cut open a frito bag and top with chile, cheese, and onions! Love
it....Bajatripper - 3-21-2012 at 06:55 PM
They've been selling them down here in La Paz for a while, too. I had my first sample during the Carnaval, when the people that sell elotes had them.
They'd top them with chili, cheese, and corn kernels, among other things.

One of the ice cream shops in Loreto sold them, they split open a bag of chips and poured cheese etc. on the contents.Heather - 3-23-2012 at 01:21 PM
My daughter had some of these at her school, in National City, CA, after-school yesterday. I guess the PTA was selling them. I picked out the jicama
and peanuts without too much chili on them....my little girls enjoy the picante a lot more than their mama! They were pretty tasty, though!Cypress - 3-23-2012 at 02:22 PM
Tostilocos recipe. One bag of tostitos. Slice open the bag down the middle. Pour melted cheese etc. over the contents. Presto!!!! Pretty doggone
good!Ateo - 3-23-2012 at 02:35 PM
My wife buys every time were in border line. I think they're pretty disgusting but that's my opinion....Bob H - 3-23-2012 at 06:45 PM
Here is Chucheman making them... This guy has lots of videos on youtube making all kinds of Mexican delights.
