This sounds pretty tasty! I love Fritos, just rarely buy any; and I like catalina dressing too - that I usually do have on-hand. Wonder how many servings that basic recipe makes? Sounds like it would serve a crowd. - I'm thinking of us + ds's family of 5. I like the idea of something I could cook up and take over there, or go there & cook up.
