Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine mashed avocados, corn, flour, cornmeal, cilantro, green onions, eggs, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cumin. Mix until well combined.

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!
