FRITO CHILI SALAD
A hundred years ago when I first moved into my own place, I went grocery shopping for the first time. I found 2 add hamburger meals, they were not hamburger helper but like them, one was in a green box and was taco casserole, and another was in a fuchsia box and was enchilada casserole, no clue what brand but I loved them. Didn't...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease 2 quart casserole. brown meat, then add onion and garlic. Drain. Add tomato sauce, tomato juice, seasonings. Stir in beans. Put meat in a casserole dish, then top with grated cheese and top with fritos. Cover and bake for 40 minutes
- 2. In the meantime make salad out of lettuce, onion, and tomato. Serve frito chili on bed of salad and add grated cheese and serve with salsa and sour cream.
- 3. Note: Notes: I use 2 tablespoons chili powder and 1 teaspoon cumin cause I like that fullness of the earthy flavors. If you would like to add some heat, then a couple of slices of diced jalapeno will do the trick. The kids do not eat salad so I just serve it to them as a casserole. For the adults I have some salad bowls that fit the bill and I put some sald in each one then top with the frito chili salad. I also love tortilla chips so I use those instead of fritos. I also like pinto beans a whole lot better than kidney beans so I use those instead.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine thawed corn, cheese, diced bell pepper and onions. Stir well. Then add in mayonnaise and taco seasoning. Stir until thoroughly combined. I like to season it with a little bit of pepper too (this is optional). Then just before serving, stir in crushed Fritos so they stay nice and crunchy. Some folks put in half the crushed Fritos at the time they make it, then add the other half in right before serving. I always think it looks pretty when you have a few crushed ones on top when you serve it. Note: Go with what is easiest for you when making this. Using pre-shredded cheese in a bag works just fine. And if you don't have time to thaw out a bag of corn, then use 2 (15 oz.) cans of corn that are drained really well. Also, for a big bump in flavor, try using the chili cheese or BBQ flavored Fritos.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If tomatoes are not in season, you can use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
- To make the salad ahead of time, cook the noodles and chicken according to the package directions and let them cool completely. Then, assemble the salad and store it in the refrigerator. The salad will keep for up to 3 days.
- To make the salad more flavorful, add some chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or parsley.
- If you don't have a Fritos bag, you can use another type of corn chip, such as Doritos or tortilla chips.
Conclusion:
Frito salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a summer potluck or picnic. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken and noodles. With its crunchy Fritos, creamy dressing, and fresh vegetables, Frito salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
