What should I serve with Corn Fritters?
These corn fritters make a great easy meal or appetizer on their own. Personally I like to dip mine in ranch dressing or serve with salsa and sour cream. However, if you want to serve these up as a side there are many things that pair perfectly with them!
- Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos: these tacos are loaded with salsa verde and lime flavor. They pair so well with the corn fritters. Don’t forget a few extra lime slices for garnish, you will love the extra kick it adds!
- Buffalo Roast Chicken: This might be a slightly unexpected pairing but the tangy roast chicken has such amazing flavor! I love to the pulled chicken on top of my corn fritter stacks and drizzle with a little queso!
- Chili or Soups: you can imagine what a great pairing these easy corn fritters are with your favorite chili and soups! Personally I love this no bean chili and this White Bean Chicken Chili!
