Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, cumin and green onion. Add the garlic, almond milk, and lime juice and stir until a paste forms. Add the corn and LA MORENA® Whole Jalapeños and stir until combined.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add oil to the pan.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop (my preference), scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture into the pan. Gently press down with your hands or a spatula to flatten. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are a light golden brown.
- To make the avocado crema, combine avocado, lime juice, LA MORENA® Whole Jalapeños, salt and almond milk in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Add additional almond milk to thin out the crema if you wish.
- Spoon avocado crema over the fritters and top with additional green onion. Serve immediately.
