Corn Fritters With Avocado Crema

These chipotle zucchini grilled corn fritters are crispy but moist with a bit of a spicy kick, thanks to the chipotle.
Avocado Crema is a creamy and versatile sauce that comes together in minutes. Pair these two up and you have a delicious appetizer, snack, or side dish that is easy to make, and hard to resist.

Avocado Crema Ingredients

• 2 avocados, peeled and pitted
• 1/4 cup cilantro (optional)
• 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 1 1/2 limes, juiced (about 3 Tbsp.)
• 1 clove garlic
• 2-4 drops hot sauce (optional)
• salt, to taste

Chipotle Zucchini Grilled Corn Fritters Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized zucchinis (about 1 lb)
• 2 ears of corn, cooked – grilled or boiled (or 1.5 cups kernels)
• 2-3 green onions
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup grated pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cloves of garlic, run through a garlic press
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped finely (or 1 Tbsp. chipotle paste – or 2 tsp powder)
• oil for frying

Avocado Crema Directions

1. Add all ingredients into food processor and blend until smooth, scraping sides down as needed

TIP – Serve avocado crema immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. (If crema is too thick, mix in 1 Tbsp. of water until it reaches your desired consistency). Making crema ahead of time: store it in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly to the surface to keep from browning.

Chipotle Zucchini Grilled Fritters Ingredients

1. On the large holes of a box grater, grate zucchini. You should get around 4 cups.
2. Use a cheesecloth or clean dish towel, squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
3. Place the zucchini in a mixing bowl.
4. Add the corn, flour, pecorino Romano, egg, garlic, cumin, chipotle, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
5. Heat enough oil to coat the bottom of a non stick skillet over medium heat.
6. Once hot, place ¼ cup of the mixture (I used a ¼ cup measuring cup) to the skillet, and press down lightly to form a little round fritter.
7. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until brown.
8. Serve with avocado crema.
