Dressing:

Combine all salad ingredients except the Fritos in a large bowl OR set out bowls of each ingredient for serving "DIY salad bar style." Whisk together the mayonnaise, cumin, chili powder, Cholula, and lime juice. Pour dressing over salad and toss well. Just before serving, add Fritos and toss to combine.
