Description

A delicious and crowd-pleasing Fritos Mexican Layer Dip featuring layers of refried beans, corn, creamy queso blanco, fresh lettuce, shredded cheese, and salsa, topped with crunchy crushed Fritos. Perfect for parties and gatherings, this no-cook layered dip is easy to assemble and serves 8 people.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 16 oz. refried beans
  • 9¼ oz. Original Fritos (crushed, divided)
  • 11 oz. can corn (drained)
  • 15.5 oz. Tostitos Queso Blanco
  • 1 head iceberg or romaine lettuce (diced, optional)
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend or cheddar cheese
  • 15.5 oz. Tostitos Chunky or Restaurant Style Salsa
  • 9¼ oz. Fritos Scoops (for serving)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dish. In a 9×13-inch dish, layer the ingredients starting from the bottom: spread the refried beans evenly first, then sprinkle half of the crushed Original Fritos over the beans to add crunch and texture.
  2. Add the Middle Layers. Next, evenly distribute the drained corn over the Fritos, followed by a generous layer of Tostitos Queso Blanco. If using, add the diced iceberg or romaine lettuce to bring freshness.
  3. Top with Cheese and Salsa. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend or cheddar cheese over the lettuce layer, then cover with the Tostitos Chunky or Restaurant Style Salsa for a flavorful finish.
  4. Finish the Layering. Finally, sprinkle the remaining crushed Original Fritos on the top layer to add a crispy texture that complements the creamy layers below.
  5. Chill Before Serving. Refrigerate the layered dip for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dip to firm slightly for easier serving.
  6. Serve and Garnish. Serve the dip chilled alongside Fritos Scoops for dipping. Optionally, enhance the presentation by topping with fresh garnishes such as chopped scallions, diced tomatoes, or sliced olives. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a fresher dip, add diced lettuce right before serving to prevent it from wilting.
  • Use a 9×13-inch dish to ensure perfect layering and easy serving.
  • You can customize the dip by adding jalapeños or chopped cilantro for extra flavor.
  • Leftover dip can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; avoid adding lettuce in leftovers as it may become soggy.
