Notes
If you don't have a lot of time to make this full recipe when you need it, you can make the chili the day before and store in the refrigerator until you're ready for it.
If you must you can always buy premade chili and use that instead. You need about 5 cups of chili
Always let your cream cheese sit out for a bit to soften so it spreads easier.
If you're worried about heat you can always use one jalapeno cream cheese and one regular. Just mix them together in a bowl before so the two kinds are mixed together.
I prefer using a Mexican style blend of shredded cheese, but this is really up to you. Pepper jack would be great and so would just plain cheddar cheese.
This dip wouldn't be called Frito Pie Dip if it didn't come with Fritos. I prefer the bigger Fritos because you can fit more dip on the chip.
