- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles in adobo)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
3. When ready to serve, mix in the crushed Fritos and stir. Top with more cotija cheese to garnish. Serve immediately.
