Fritos Corn Salad

Print Recipe

A vibrant and delicious Fritos Corn Salad perfect for summer barbecues and potlucks, combining corn, bell pepper, cheese, and a crunchy Fritos topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 cup mayo (can substitute light mayo)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (9.25 ounce) bag Chili Cheese Fritos, lightly crushed
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start with the Corn: Drain the corn from the cans and give it a good rinse under cold water. Pat it dry with a paper towel and toss it in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Chop the Veggies: Finely dice the red bell pepper and add it to the bowl with the corn.
  3. Cheese It Up: Sprinkle the Mexican blend cheese into your bowl and toss with the corn and peppers.
  4. Mix in the Mayo: In a separate bowl, mix the mayo and black pepper until smooth, then fold it into the corn mixture.
  5. Fritos Crunch: Add the lightly crushed Chili Cheese Fritos to the bowl and gently fold them in.
  6. Garnish and Chill: Chop a handful of fresh cilantro and sprinkle on top, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Give the salad a gentle stir, scoop it into a serving bowl, and enjoy!

Notes

This salad tastes better after a day in the fridge as flavors meld. Add Fritos just before serving to maintain crunch.
