¾ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
Prepare the Corn:
Add the drained corn to a large mixing bowl. Use paper towels to absorb any remaining moisture for the best texture.
Add the Vegetables and Cheese:
Stir in the diced red bell pepper, jalapeños, red onion, and shredded Mexican cheese until evenly combined.
Make the Dressing:
Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, and fresh lime juice.
Mix Thoroughly:
Stir everything together until the corn and vegetables are evenly coated in the creamy dressing.
Chill:
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Add the Fritos:
Just before serving, fold in the crushed Chile Cheese Fritos to maintain their crunch.
Serve:
Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, crunchy flavors.
Add the Fritos right before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
For extra heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in the mixture.
Fresh corn can be substituted for canned corn when in season.
Mexican-style street corn seasoning can be sprinkled on top for additional flavor.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the chips will soften over time.
