My mother-in-law loves to go out to lunch and always wants a burger and fries. Now don’t get me wrong, I love a good burger, but I really need her to eat more veggies (we all need to eat more veggies). Bill is out of town and I have a ton of fresh vegetables in the garden, so for lunch we decide to stay in and make Mexican Veggie Fritters.
These are fun, fresh and light. Best thing is you can add what ever vegetables you want, the more the better! The green peppers, jalapeno, tomatoes, dill, coriander all were garden fresh!
Have fun experimenting with all sorts of combinations.
