Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9.25 oz) bag Fritos Original Corn Chips
- 2 (15 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper if desired.
- Step 2: Add the well-drained corn, finely diced red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl with the dressing.
- Step 3: Gently fold all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the creamy dressing. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Step 4: Just before serving, add the entire bag of Fritos Original Corn Chips to the corn mixture. Gently fold them in until they are well combined.
- Step 5: Serve immediately in a large serving bowl, as the Fritos will become soggy if left to sit for too long.
Notes
- To enjoy this salad over a couple of days, store the corn mixture separately from the Fritos in an airtight container in the fridge, adding fresh Fritos only when ready to serve.
- This is a fantastic cold salad, so skip the reheat! For best texture and flavor, simply serve it chilled straight from the refrigerator.
- A crowd-pleaser for any gathering, this Fritos Corn Salad is the perfect vibrant side for your next barbecue, picnic, or taco Tuesday.
- For that signature crunch, remember the golden rule: always fold in the Fritos just moments before serving to keep them wonderfully crisp.
