Preparation

Step 1

Make dressing: Puree everything in a food processor and optionally let sit in the fridge for a few hours.

Mix the corn, flour, egg, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, jalapenos, bacon, paprika, coriander, green onion, cilantro and lime juice in a bowl.
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, form into 1/4 cup patties and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-4 minutes per side.


Note: Use enough flour that the mixture holds together to form patties.
Top with jalapeno popper dressing.
