Frito Corn Salad Recipe
If you’re looking for that dish—the one that vanishes first at every cookout, potluck, or game day—this Frito Corn Salad is it. It’s bold, creamy, crunchy, and totally irresistible. One bite, and you’ll see why folks always come back for seconds (and ask for the recipe!). It makes a great dip, too!
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 15 ounce can whole kernel corn drained (get a good quality can of corn like del monte)
- 15 ounce can whole kernel corn fiesta or mexican blend
- ⅓ cup diced red onion
- 2 cups shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese pepper jack for extra spice
- ½ cup mayo
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 9.75 ounce Fritos Chili Cheese, BBQ, or Plain (I like chili cheese the best)
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro or to taste (optional)
- Garnish with Jalapenos and Cilantro
Instructions
- In a bowl mix mayo, sour cream and taco seasoning until combined.
- Add in drained corn, diced onion, cheese, cilantro and stir until combined.
- When ready to serve, add in Fritos. Some people like to add half of the Fritos or serve them on the side so they will stay crunchy. If serving as a dip, leave on the side and serve with Frito scoops.
Notes
Variations and Substitutions
-
- Can't find Mexican Corn or Fiesta Corn (or if you want to use that canned corn in the pantry): Stir in diced red bell or green bell peppers (1/3 to 1/2 cup) and green chiles (4 ounces or to taste) if you don’t have Fiesta corn.
-
- Want more spice? Add extra green chiles, jalapeños, or a splash of hot sauce.
-
- Mix in cream cheese for a thicker dip. You can substitute the 8 ounces of cream cheese for the sour cream or just add it in for a more creamy texture.
-
- Swap Chips: Sub the Fritos for Doritos, Tostitos, or another crunchy chip you love.
