Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, pour in one can of drained whole kernel corn, diced red bell pepper, and a generous cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese. Add about half a cup of creamy mayonnaise and a pinch of black pepper for flavor. Using a spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until everything is well-coated.
  2. Right before serving, take about two cups of Chili Cheese Fritos and crush them slightly—this will enhance the texture. Carefully fold the crushed Fritos into your corn salad mixture.
  3. If desired, sprinkle a handful of freshly chopped cilantro over the top of your Fritos Corn Salad for an added pop of color and flavor. Give it a gentle toss to incorporate the cilantro just prior to serving.
  4. Once your Fritos Corn Salad is perfectly mixed, transfer it to a serving bowl. Enjoy it fresh to maintain the delightful crunch of the Fritos.
