Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 2 ripe avocados, mashed
• 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• Oil for frying

FOR THE SPICY LIME DIP

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine mashed avocados, corn, flour, cornmeal, cilantro, green onions, eggs, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cumin. Mix until well combined.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the fritter mixture into the skillet, flattening gently.
3. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, and salt to make the dip.
5. Serve the fritters warm with the spicy lime dip on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water.

For the best texture, ensure your fritters are nice and golden on the outside. If your batter is too thick, you can add a little water or extra lime juice to loosen it up. Experiment with spices; a pinch of cayenne can add a nice kick!

These fritters can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F to regain their crispiness. Enjoy them as an appetizer, snack, or even as a light main dish!
