Ingredients

16 ounces frozen corn kernels
1 green bell pepper seeded and diced
1 medium red onion diced
2 fresh jalapeno peppers seeded and diced
2 teaspoons BBQ seasoning
¾ cup mayo
8 ounces cheddar cheese grated
1 10.5 ounce bag Fritos corn chips, crushed
Extra Frito corn chips scoops for serving

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the corn, bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno, mayo and seasoning.
Stir to combine.
Crush the one bag Fritos and fold the crushed chips and shredded cheese into the salad.
Serve with more Fritos or tortilla chips.

Notes

Switch out the BBQ seasoning for store-bought taco seasoning, cajun seasoning, or a packet of ranch seasoning.
Use chili cheese fritos instead of the regular ones. Really any kind of fritos will work.
You can use canned corn, just drain and rinse. You will need to chill the salad for 30 minutes if you use canned corn. The frozen corn keeps everything chilled and the corn should thaw pretty quickly.
Want some protein? Add in some black beans or diced cooked chicken.
Try using pepper jack or colby jack cheese for a new flavor twist.
Finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if you like!
