How to Make Wayne's Gay Fiesta Salad

  1. Finely chop the tomato, red onion, bell pepper, and cilantro. You can use a hand-held chopper or a food processor.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables and cilantro. Mixing them together beforehand blends the flavors beautifully.
  3. Add the rinsed and drained kidney beans; use less if preferred.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheese.
  5. Gradually add the Catalina dressing, mixing until the dip is moist but not soupy. Taste and adjust the amount of dressing accordingly.
  6. If using, add minced jalapeños and/or chipotle salsa for extra heat. Start with a small amount and adjust to your preferred spice level.
  7. Just before serving, crush the corn tortilla chips in a zip-top bag. Gently fold the crushed chips into the dip.
  8. Serve immediately with white corn tortilla chips or Fritos.
