Gluten Free Taco Corn Fritters



I am so thankful for Lisa sending me this family tested gluten free recipes. These corn fritters look and sound delicious. I would like to make these for my family.

Ingredients
1/2 lb ground beef, seasoned (use your favorite taco seasoning recipe)
2 c cornmeal - gluten free
1 tsp baking powder - gluten free
1/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
3/4 c milk
1/4 c honey
1/4 c olive oil
3/4 c shredded cheese
2 c frozen corn, thawed
oil for frying

Directions
Brown hamburger meat with seasoning mix, and drain oil. In another bowl, mix together remaining ingredients, except corn and cheese until blended. Fold seasoned meat, corn and cheese into the corn batter. Heat oil for frying in a skillet (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep). Scoop 2 tablespoons of corn mixture into the hot oil (I like to use an ice cream scoop for uniform scoops), flattening batter to form a “patty”. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Top with your favorite salsa and a dollop of sour cream.

Variations
-Add a can of black beans, or chilies for an extra kick
-Substitute ground beef for shredded seasoned chicken
