The $2 can of chili that changed my camping meals forever

Last fall I was camping near Flagstaff and forgot my usual stuff for dinner. This older guy at the next site saw me staring at my backpack like an idiot and handed me a can of chili plus a bag of Fritos. He said, "Just dump the chili over the chips and call it a nacho bowl, kid." I laughed but tried it that night, and honestly it beat the fancy dehydrated meals I had been packing. The trick is you don't even need a stove if the chili is room temp, just open, pour, and crush the chips on top. I've done it at home like 8 times since then when I'm too lazy to cook. Anyone else got a weird canned food combo from a stranger that stuck with you?

Found the same trick with canned stew and saltines, changed everything.
