Gather all your ingredients for the salad. Dice the red bell peppers and purple onion, and grate the cheddar cheese. Drain the canned corn if using.

Open the bag of Chili Fritos and gently break them into smaller pieces. Aim for one-inch pieces.

To serve later, keep the ingredients separate until ready. Place diced vegetables, cheese, and corn in a large serving bowl, but add Fritos just before serving.

Just before serving, combine all the prepared ingredients in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise and toss until evenly coated.

Serve immediately with additional cheese or jalapeños on top if desired.
