How to Make Fritos Layered Dip Step by Step
Prepare the dip: In a 9 x 13 dish, layer 16 oz. of refried beans, half of the crushed Fritos, an 11 oz. can of corn, 15.5 oz of queso blanco, 1 head of lettuce (if using), 2 cups cheese, 15.5 oz. of salsa, and top with the remaining crushed Fritos. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
Serve: Serve with Fritos Scoops and top with chopped scallions, tomatoes, and sliced olives. Enjoy!
How to Store
I recommend refrigerating this bean dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. If covered, this dip can be made up to 24 hours in advance. If you want to add garnish such as cilantro and chopped tomatoes, add them just before serving.
Mexican Layer Dip will last for about 3 days in the fridge. Beyond 3 days, the cheese and toppings will start to lose texture. I would not recommend freezing this dip.
Serving Suggestions
You can serve the dip with your favorite brand of chips, but I’d recommend chips that have a solid dipping structure. Tortilla chips work great, and Fritos scoops are the perfect shape to dig out a bunch of yummy layers in one go! I like to serve this dip with a side of guacamole or salsa verde for even more flavor.
