Frito Corn Salad is a refreshing and crunchy summer side dish that combines sweet corn, black beans, and Fritos corn chips, all tossed in a creamy dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 ounces) sweet corn, drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Fritos corn chips
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, black beans, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, cheddar cheese, and red onion. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Gently fold in the Fritos corn chips just before serving to keep them crunchy.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
