Instructions

In a large bowl, add the drained corn and use paper towels to soak up any extra moisture.
Mix in the diced red pepper, jalapenos, red onion, and Mexican cheese. Stir well to combine.
Incorporate the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir until fully mixed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate until it's time to serve.
Just before serving, add the crushed Fritos and mix gently to combine.

Notes

For added flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more jalapenos or a different type of pepper.
You can substitute the mayonnaise or sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
