In a large mixing bowl, add the drained corn, diced red bell pepper, shredded Mexican blend cheese, mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Stir gently with a spatula until all ingredients are well coated.

Continue mixing until the corn and peppers are evenly distributed throughout the salad, ensuring a vibrant mix.

Right before serving, gently crush the Chili Cheese Fritos and fold them into the salad using a spatula.

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
