Description
The Creamy BBQ Showstopper bursts with crunchy Fritos, sweet corn, and a tangy-smooth dressing, making it a party favorite and weeknight crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole Kernel Corn (drained)
- 1 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese (or pepper jack for spice)
- ½ cup Mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt as substitute)
- 1 unit Green Pepper, Chopped (or any bell pepper variety)
- ½ cup Red Onion, Diced Finely (or shallots for milder flavor)
- 2 cups Fritos Corn Chips (Regular or Chili Cheese)
Instructions
- Drain the corn thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer and let it sit to remove excess liquid; pat with paper towels if needed.
- Grate your cheddar (or pepper jack) and place it in a large mixing bowl.
- Chop the green pepper into small, even pieces so every bite has a little crunch and sweetness.
- Finely dice the red onion (or shallot) to avoid large sharp bites. If you prefer milder onion flavor, rinse the diced onion briefly under cold water and pat dry.
- Add the drained corn, chopped green pepper, and diced red onion to the bowl with the cheese.
- Stir ½ cup mayonnaise (or the Greek yogurt substitute) into the mixture until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust — you might prefer a touch more mayo or yogurt for creaminess.
- Right before serving, gently fold in 2 cups of Fritos Corn Chips to keep them crisp. Break larger chip clusters into manageable pieces so they mix evenly.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and, if desired, garnish with a few extra crushed chips on top for presentation.
Notes
Add chips just before serving to preserve crunch. Ensure all ingredients are well-drained to avoid sogginess.
