Jalapeno Popper Corn Frito Salad- this summer side dish is full of corn, cream cheese, diced jalapenos, bacon, and crunchy Frito chips. It’s a spicy version of this Frito Corn Salad and I absolutely love it.

 
So rich and creamy! It’s basically a dip with the chips mixed in. Great for summer pool parties, cookouts, and barbecues. Potluck sides don’t get any yummier than this.
I love that this dish can be made ahead of time. I hate making things last minute for parties. It’s nice to make a recipe well in advance and know you still have time for a Plan B if you mess it up or discover you don’t have all the ingredients like you thought you did. It happens. Even to me.
 

 
What kind of corn to use"
For ease and convenience, I like to use either canned corn or frozen. Both yellow corn and white corn are good. If you want to use fresh corn, that is great too. JALAPENO POPPER CORN FRITO SALAD RECIPE TIPS:

This salad should be made at least 1 hour ahead of time. It can be made as much as 8 hours ahead of time. Mix the Fritos in just before serving.
For extra flavor, try using Chili Cheese or Barbecue flavored Fritos.
Leftovers will keep for about 3 days, but the Fritos will get soggy. Some people like the way it tastes with soggy Fritos and others hate it.
