Notes
- Use frozen corn to keep everything chilled. It thaws quickly as you mix it.
- If using canned corn, drain and rinse well, then chill the salad for 30 minutes.
- Keep Fritos separate until serving to prevent soggy chips.
- Crush Fritos into bite-sized pieces, not dust. You want some crunch!
- Try chili cheese Fritos for extra flavor boost.
- Switch seasonings based on your mood - BBQ, taco, Cajun, or ranch all work.
- Add black beans or diced chicken for protein and make it a meal.
- Finish with chopped cilantro and lime juice for extra fresh flavor.
- Portion out what you'll eat and add Fritos to that portion only if you'll have leftovers.
