Prepare the corn mixture

Shape the fritters

Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Using your hands, form the corn mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Gently place the patties into the hot oil and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip the fritters to cook the other side.

Serve and enjoy

Once the fritters are cooked to perfection, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot and garnish with additional crumbled cojita cheese and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. These fritters are best enjoyed fresh off the stove, so dig in and savor the deliciousness!
