Nothing says summer quite like fresh, sweet corn—and these Sweet Corn Fritters with Avocado Crema are bursting with all the bright, sunny flavor of the season. Inspired by classic flapjacks, these golden fritters are a little savory, a little sweet, and absolutely snackable. They’re crisp on the outside, tender inside, and studded with juicy corn kernels and salty queso fresco.
But the real magic? A cool, creamy Avocado Crema that adds a bright, tangy contrast to every bite.
