No reviews

You know that dish that disappears first at every cookout? This Fritos Corn Salad is that dish. It’s cool, creamy, a little crunchy, and totally addictive. Sweet corn, crisp bell peppers, sharp cheddar, it’s already good. But once you fold in those salty Chili Cheese Fritos right before serving? Game over. It’s bold, messy in the best way, and somehow always the one people ask for the recipe to while going in for seconds. The best part? It takes 15 minutes, no stove, no stress. Just toss, chill, and get ready to be the person who brought the good side dish.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

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

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 (9.25 ounce) bag Chili Cheese Fritos lightly crushed

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the corn, diced bell pepper, shredded cheese, mayo, and a little black pepper.
  2. Just before you’re ready to serve, fold in the crushed Chili Cheese Fritos so they stay nice and crunchy.
  3. Top with fresh cilantro if you’d like a pop of color and flavor, and dig in!

Equipment

Notes

For the best crunch, serve this salad right after adding the Fritos.

Making it ahead? Just wait to stir in the chips until you’re ready to serve. Keep the salad covered in the fridge until then.

It’ll stay fresh in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days, but just know the Fritos will lose their crunch the longer they sit.

Can’t find Chili Cheese Fritos or prefer something milder? Plain Fritos work just fine too!
