Begin by draining a can of whole kernel corn and rinsing it under cold water. Next, dice one red bell pepper into small pieces for a sweet crunch. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn and bell pepper with shredded Mexican blend cheese, ensuring an even distribution of flavors and colors.

In a separate bowl, stir together half a cup of mayonnaise and a generous pinch of black pepper. Mix until the mayonnaise is creamy and well-blended, creating a smooth dressing. Once combined, gently fold this dressing into the corn and bell pepper mixture until all ingredients are coated evenly.

Just before serving, take a small bag of Chili Cheese Fritos and lightly crush them in your hands for added texture. Carefully fold the crushed Fritos into your salad mixture, ensuring you don’t break them down too much.

For an extra touch of freshness, optionally sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
