Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Mexican Corn Bites
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, crumbled feta, grated Parmesan, chopped jalapeño, and diced red bell pepper. Gently fold these vibrant ingredients together until fully mixed.
- Add the fresh lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper to the corn mixture. Stir well to ensure all the flavors meld together harmoniously.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined, then add them to the corn mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything holds together nicely.
- Prepare a breading station by placing the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Dust your hands with a little flour to prevent sticking.
- Using your hands, scoop out portions of the corn mixture and shape them into 1 to 1.5-inch balls or patties.
- Dust each bite in flour, dip them into the beaten egg, and roll them in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of olive oil over medium heat until hot. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle.
- Carefully place the coated corn bites into the hot oil in batches, frying them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked bites onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve your warm Spicy Mexican Corn Bites alongside vibrant lime wedges, zesty salsa, or creamy guacamole for dipping.
