Main Ingredients

Chipotle Sour Cream

Preparation

1

Cook the Tri-Tip

Season the tri-tip steak with salt and pepper. Grill or sear it on a hot skillet for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice it thinly.

2

Prepare the Chipotle Sour Cream

In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce until well combined. Adjust the spice level to taste.

3

Heat the Chili

Warm the chili in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through.

Assembly

4

Assemble the Frito Pie

In a serving dish, layer the Fritos at the bottom. Top with warm chili, sliced tri-tip, and shredded cheddar cheese. Finish with jalapeños and a generous dollop of chipotle sour cream.
