Frito Corn Salad
One of Taste of Home's most popular recipes of 2026 - a crunchy, creamy no-cook salad of canned corn, Mexican cheese, bell pepper, mayo, and crushed Fritos. The potluck favorite everyone asks for.
Ingredients
- 2 (15 oz) cans whole kernel corn, drained well
- 2 cups grated Mexican cheese blend
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (10.5 oz) bag chili cheese Fritos corn chips, coarsely crushed
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the drained corn, shredded Mexican cheese, chopped red bell pepper, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Cover the bowl with storage wrap and chill the salad until you're ready to serve it. (Don't add the corn chips yet - they'll soften and become mushy.)
- Just before serving, stir in the crushed corn chips so they stay crunchy. Transfer to a serving bowl.
- If desired, sprinkle the salad with fresh cilantro and serve.
