Tortilla fritters are a savory snack or side dish inspired by Latin American and Spanish cuisines, made by combining small pieces of tortilla with a batter of eggs, flour, and seasonings, then frying until golden and crispy. Often enhanced with ingredients like cheese, vegetables, or herbs, they deliver a satisfying blend of crunch and soft interior textures. While tortilla fritters are rich in carbohydrates and protein from the tortillas and eggs, they can also be high in fat due to frying. To make them healthier, try baking instead of frying or incorporating whole-grain tortillas and nutrient-dense vegetables into the mix. These fritters are a versatile and delicious way to use up leftover tortillas, making them a sustainable and flavorful option for reducing food waste. Best enjoyed warm, they’re a crowd-pleaser at any meal or gathering!
