Pretzel buns
Remember those Soft Pretzel Buns I shared earlier? Yep, Here’s what I hinted at: Corn Fritter Sliders with Smashed Avocado and Enchilada Sauce on Pretzel Buns (whew, that was a mouthful!)
grab a napkin
I often tell my husband that I don’t give him the “no-mess guarantee” with dinner. And, I say the same thing to you with these. You’ll want a napkin, or two (or maybe even a knife and fork)! But, all those flavors and yummies all wrapped up in a warm pretzel bun… yum. I mean, really yum!
enchilada sauce
I almost always have a jar of homemade Easy Enchilada Sauce in the fridge. Just warm that in the microwave for a minute.
If you don’t have some already made, you’ll find the Easy Enchilada Sauce recipe here. This sauce is so much tastier than the canned kind, and doesn’t take that long to make. You’ll be happy you took the time to make this one!
How to make these sliders
I recommend making the Corn Fritter batter first, then, before you fry it, cut your Pretzel Buns in half.
Now, you don’t have to butter toast the buns, but I highly recommend it, especially if the pretzel buns were made the day before (toasting them will perk them back up!).
Give the insides of the Pretzel Buns a light smear of butter or oil, and in a hot skillet, toast the buttered side until golden brown. The crunchy toasty insides of the buns make a fun crunch and are really tasty.
Next, fry up your Corn Fritters, and place them on the toasted Pretzel Buns. In a small bowl, smash some avocado with a little salt and chopped cilantro, and top the Corn Fritter with some of the avocado.
Next, drizzle with some Enchilada Sauce. Devour!
And don’t forget the napkins!
