Mexican Corn Bites (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Creamy Base

01 - 1 tablespoon lime juice

02 - 1/4 cup sour cream

03 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise

→ Main Ingredients

04 - 2 cups of corn kernels (use fresh, frozen, or canned)

→ Seasonings

05 - 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional, adds a kick)

06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

07 - 1 teaspoon chili powder (alter to your taste)

08 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

# Instructions:

01 - In a big bowl, mix lime juice, sour cream, and mayo. Keep stirring until smooth and creamy.

02 - Tip the corn into the creamy sauce and mix everything so the corn is fully covered.

03 - Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne (if you're using it). Stir to spread the flavors evenly.

04 - Warm up your non-stick pan on medium heat to get it ready for frying.

05 - Spoon small portions of the corn mix onto the hot pan. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn crisp and golden.

06 - Move the cooked pieces to a plate. You can top them with chopped cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, or a pinch of extra chili powder, if you'd like.

# Notes:

01 - These tangy corn bites take inspiration from Mexican-style street food (elote) and are great snacks or starters.

02 - Adjust spices to control how mild or hot the flavor turns out.
