Frito Corn Salad

  Came across this summer side dish on tik-tok and have to put my own spin on it! This dish is perfect for BBQ side dish, poolside on a hot summer day. This recipe serves about 4, so double it for a BBQ and also wait to add the chips until you are ready to serve so they don't get soggy. 

When it comes to the spices, be sure to add the chili powder or cayenne pepper to your liking. You can always add more later if its not spicy enough.
