A creamy, crunchy, no-cook side dish made with corn, bell pepper, cheese, and Chili Cheese Fritos. Perfect for summer barbecues, potlucks, and easy entertaining.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cans whole kernel corn drained, 15 oz each
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 small red onion finely chopped, optional
- 1 bag Chili Cheese Fritos 9.25 oz, crushed just before serving
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the drained corn, diced bell pepper, shredded cheese, red onion (if using), mayonnaise, and black pepper until fully combined.
- If making ahead, cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Do not add Fritos yet.
- Just before serving, lightly crush the Fritos and gently fold them into the salad.
- Serve immediately and garnish with optional scallions or cilantro if desired.
Notes
For extra crunch, keep the Fritos separate until right before serving. You can also swap in sour cream or Greek yogurt for part of the mayo for a tangier twist.
