How To Make Corn & Chorizo Fritters with Chipotle Lime Sauce

Golden and crispy with a touch of heat, these flavour-packed fritters are loaded with sweet corn, smoky chorizo, and plenty of fresh herbs. Served with a creamy chipotle lime drizzle and slices of ripe avocado, they’re perfect for brunch, lunch, or an easy dinner.

Ingredients (Fritters)
  • 3-4 tbsp The Good Oil extra virgin rapeseed oil

  • 150g chorizo sausage, finely chopped

  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

  • 4 spring onions, finely sliced

  • 100g feta, crumbled

  • 2 tbsp jalapeño slices, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat, if preferred)

  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped

  • 2 eggs

  • ¾ cup milk

  • 1¼ cups self-raising flour

  • 1 ripe avocado, quartered

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Ingredients (Chipotle Lime Sauce)
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 3 tbsp sour cream

  • 2-3 tsp chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)

  • Juice of ½ lime

  • Pinch of salt

Method
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the flour along with a good pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk to form a thick, pourable batter.

  • Fold through the chorizo, corn, spring onions, feta, jalapeño and coriander until everything is evenly combined.

  • Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, drop in heaped spoonfuls of the batter and flatten slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Add a little extra oil to the pan between batches if needed.

  • While the fritters are cooking, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle sauce, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

  • Stack the warm fritters on plates with a wedge of avocado, and drizzle generously with the chipotle lime sauce. Garnish with extra sliced spring onion if you like.
