Fiesta Corn Fritters
We know we say this often but this recipe moved into our top favorite recipes after the first bite! Corn is a favorite for us and T’s Mama used to make good ol’ corn fritters when she was growing up so she’d always loved them. And combined with the kick in flavors in this recipe, wow! It’s like this combination of sweet, a tiny bit of heat, almost a Mexican cornbread vibe… SO GOOD! And you can eat them as a meal in itself or as a kicked up fun side dish!
