/es-TAR FRI-to/

To be in serious trouble with no way out. When someone is 'frito,' there's no saving them from the consequences that are coming — they're done.

Example

"If the boss finds out, we're all toast."

"She's in deep trouble with that debt — I don't know how she'll get out of it."

Regional synonyms:

Platillo mexicano hecho con tortilla frita bañada en salsa verde o roja, con crema, queso y cebolla. Son la cura oficial de la cruda en México y el desayuno perfecto después de una noche de fiesta.
