In a large serving bowl or casserole, put down one layer each of lettuce, beans, Fritos (crushed if desired for easier eating), salad dressing, and cheese. Repeat layering again, same order. Serve immediately.
Build additional layers if you need more servings.
If you're taking to potluck, picnic, or making ahead of time, don't add dressing during layering, it'll be too soggy by the time anyone gets to it, serve it with the dressing on the side.
You could probably substitue the Fritos with tortilla chips, &c., but we love the Fritos.
*or make your own beans 'n sauce, of course
This was DH's mom's recipe for a no-cook meal during the sweltering midwestern summers. She calls it Taco Salad, but since the Taco Salad I make is nothing like this, we asked DD to help us rename it. She came up with the Cheesy Bean bit. Baba, is of course, an honorific for an elder lady in Polish, thus, DD's Grandma is Baba (pronounced Bubba. Yep, Bubba.)
