Catalina Frito Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 (9.25 ounce) bag Fritos Corn Chips
  • 1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 green bell peppers, finely diced
  • 5-6 Roma tomatoes, finely chopped (or whatever tomatoes you have and like)
  • ¼-1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 can black olives, drained, sliced
  • 1 can corn sliced
  • 6-8 ounces of Catalina dressing (Enough to coat everything without being soupy.)
  • Add whatever ingredients you like. If you don’t like kidney beans don’t add and you don’t need to add another can of beans. When we started making this out recipe only said kidney beans. We like the other beans instead now.

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl combine the drained beans, diced bell peppers, chopped tomatoes, diced red onion, and Catalina dressing. Start with 6 ounces and see if you need to add more dressing. Stir well.
  2. Cover the bowl with a tight lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Right before serving, pour in the bag of Fritos. Stir and serve.
  4. Enjoy! Seves 16-20
