Mexican Street Corn Fritters

Mexican Street Corn Fritters

Mexican Street Corn Fritters are a fun way to enjoy the flavors of Mexican Street Corn in an easy to serve fritter. In traditional Mexican street corn, ears of fresh sweet corn are grilled and charred, covered in mayonnaise then seasoned and sprinkled with cheese. These fritters have the spices of the original and more! Fresh cilantro and green onions add another layer of flavor.

Mexican Street Corn Fritters  are perfect summer appetizers when fresh corn is at it best. They would also be a great side dish for summer cookouts. You can serve them with sour cream or Avocado Crema and top then with more green onions and Cotija cheese.
