Spicy Corn Fritters w/ an Avocado Basil Dip

January 12, 2019
spicy corn fritters with avocado basil dip

Happy Cinco de Mayo! This is our take on celebrating traditional Mexican ingredients! Instead of doing the usual taco or guacamole recipe, we were inspired to be creative by one of the most iconic Mexican ingredients: corn! And letโ€™s be honest, who doesnโ€™t like crunchy fritters with an amazing dipping sauce?!

Although we are posting this on Cinco de Mayo, this recipe is great for the spring, summer, and even the fall. Such seasons are great for sourcing locally grown produce. We are lucky enough to live close to a few farmers markets, where we picked up locally grown corn. It is so important to us to support local farmers, and have the most organic ingredients we can find.

A part of being vegan is to be more socially aware of environmental issues, and how our own actions impact the World. When you start making small changes in your life, it becomes very rewarding to see the effects it has on your overall health, the environment, and our animals. Tell us below what small changes you have made in your life that others can start incorporating ๐Ÿ™‚

The best part about this recipe is how easy it is to make. Bring this crunchy spicy fritters to your work events, pot-lucks, BBQs, or even for a snack! The spiciness and the crunchiness of these fritters will have you and your vegan and non-vegan friends ADDICTED!

If you try this recipe, let us know! Feel free to ask questions, write comments, and use our hashtag #livinvegan on Instagram! We love to hear from you all!
