I just got back from Santa Fe, NM today and this dish is served in almost every restaurant there but each has their own spin: some more soupy, some more spicy, some served with lettuce, tomato condiments. I have to say the best I have had came from the Flea Market stand at the famous Tesuque Flea Market just outside Santa Fe. I have no idea what their secret is but I am gong to try to tweak this recipe to match theirs. It's not as thick for one, which I prefer. I left out the flour & masa in this recipe and added more liquid. I needed mine spicier so I added another tsp. of chile powder and cayenne. The beef bottom round is a MUST in this, don't use ground beef as you will lose the authenticity of the dish. The Food Network show "The best thing I ever ate" had the Dime Store in Downtown Sante Fe square as making the best frito pie. This is also true. Very Very delicious!
