Step-by-Step Instructions for Fritos Corn Salad
- In a large mixing bowl, drain and rinse one can of whole kernel corn, then add it to the bowl. Dice one red bell pepper and mix it in with the corn, followed by a generous cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese. Spoon in about half a cup of mayonnaise and sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper to taste, stirring everything together until the mixture is creamy and well-combined.
- Taste the corn salad mixture and adjust seasoning as necessary. If you prefer a creamier texture, add a little more mayonnaise, mixing well after each addition. Ensure that the flavors meld beautifully as you fold in the ingredients.
- Just before you're ready to serve, crush about two cups of Chili Cheese Fritos and gently fold them into the salad to preserve their crunch. Mix carefully to distribute the Fritos evenly without causing them to break down too much.
- Transfer the completed Fritos Corn Salad to a serving bowl. For a burst of freshness and color, sprinkle finely chopped fresh cilantro on top. Serve the salad chilled.

Notes
For optimal freshness, store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 3-4 days. Add Fritos just before serving to maintain crunch.
