Jump to RecipeWe love tasty treats like these Mexican Corn Fritters! They’re easy to make and loaded with great flavors! Even better, you don’t need to wait for summer and fresh shucked corn to enjoy them…frozen corn works almost as well 😉 Mexican Corn Fritters are a quick and easy pan-fried side or appetizer! Mexican Corn Fritter Recipe Note that I am looking out the window at freshly plowed fields, now bare where there had been lovely rows of fresh corn! In our middle-of-nowhere place here in Minnesota, the neighboring farmers rotate their crops between corn and soybean. I don’t know why, but rolling fields full of corn just speak ‘Americana’ to me. However, what is grown all around us is NOT sweet corn. So, when our super sweet neighbors show up to share their bountiful corn, you have to plan to make something that can be spiced up easily! Which leads to these super easy pan-fried corn fritters. Add the fact that we love the flavors of Mexican food and you get these fritters that are perfect as part of a meal or on their own as an appetizer! Enjoy!
