What goes into making a Frito pie?

[Prel]

I'm diving into making my first Frito pie and wondering what goes into it. Does anyone have a reliable recipe they swear by? I'd love to hear what spices or special ingredients you use to make yours stand out. Any tips are appreciated!

Frito pie is a fun, layered delight - Fritos chips, seasoned ground beef, chili beans, cheese, and sometimes tomatoes or onions!
