Ingredients

  • 1 can corn drained
  • 1 can southwest corn drained
  • ½ red onion diced
  • 1 jalapeño diced (or green bell pepper)
  • ¼ cup bacon bits optional

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika or taco seasoning blend

Instructions

  • Combine both types of corn, mayonnaise, onion, jalapeno, bacon bits, cheddar cheese and paprika together in a bowl.
  • Crush half of the corn chips and stir into the corn right before serving.  Top with remaining chips.

Notes

Tips:
  • Stir in some crushed corn chips right before serving so it doesn’t get soggy.  Add some larger corn chips to the top of the salad.
  • If you can’t find any southwest corn, just use 2 cans of corn and add some diced green and red pepper to the dish.
  • Make sure the corn is drained well so the salad isn’t watery.
Storage:
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
