How To Make Mexican Corn Fritters

1

In a bowl, combine both flours, salt, chili powder, and sugar. Mix well. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, cheese, chopped jalapeno, and eggs, stirring until you achieve a thick batter consistency. Add cream, spring onions, corn kernels, and coriander, mixing thoroughly until the batter is of dropping consistency.

2

Heat oil in a frying pan and use an ice cream scoop to drop scoops of batter onto the pan to form fritters. Flatten the batter with a spatula. Cook until golden on one side, then flip and cook until golden on the other side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined platter.

3

Prepare the remaining batter in the same manner, adding more oil to the pan if needed.

4

For the dipping sauce, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, cheese, salt, and coriander. Serve the fritters topped with the sauce.

Recipe Notes:

Rinse Beans: Drain and rinse canned beans thoroughly to reduce excess sodium and help prevent a watery salad.

Chill Before Serving: Let the salad chill for at least an hour—or longer—for the flavors to develop and meld beautifully.

Add Avocado Last: If using avocado, fold it in just before serving to prevent browning and preserve texture.

Adjust Spice: Add jalapeño or chili powder if you want extra heat—balanced with the lime and salt.

Store Covered: Seal tightly and refrigerate for up to 2–3 days; stir before serving as separation may occur.
