Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 2 ripe avocados, mashed
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

FOR THE ZESTY LIME CREAM

• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed avocado, corn, flour, eggs, cilantro, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
3. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly to form patties.
4. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. For the zesty lime cream, mix sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth.
6. Serve the fritters warm with the zesty lime cream on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For added flavor, consider folding in chopped jalapeños or spices into the batter for a bit of heat.

For a gluten-free option, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free blend. You can also experiment with different herbs such as cilantro or parsley for a unique twist. If you’re short on time, the fritters can be made in advance and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

To serve, try adding a sprinkle of feta cheese on top or a side of fresh salsa for extra flavor. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but keep in mind they are best enjoyed fresh!
