Frito Fiesta Chicken Salad

No ratings yet

Frito Fiesta Chicken Salad is a bold, flavor-packed twist on traditional chicken salad, featuring Mexicorn, black beans, bell peppers, shredded cheese, and a creamy taco-seasoned dressing. It’s quick to toss together and can be served immediately, though a short chill in the fridge deepens the flavors. For a fun, crunchy finish, serve it with chili cheese Fritos—my family’s favorite way to enjoy it!

Ingredients

⅓ cup light mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
1 Tbsp taco seasoning
½ cup Mexicorn
½ cup black beans
2 Tbsp red onion finely diced
¼ cup red bell pepper finely diced
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro minced
5 oz chili cheese fritos from a 9.25 oz bag

Instructions

In a medium sized bowl, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, and taco seasoning. Mix to combine.
Add in the Mexicorn, black beans, red onion, bell peppers, cilantro, and shredded cheese. Mix together until evey thing is well combined and coated with the dressing.
Last, fold in the chicken salad until well coated in the dressing. You can serve it immediately, but I like to give it at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
To serve, add a scoop of chicken salad to a bowl and place cheese cheese Fritos around the salad. Serves 5.
