Ingredients
- 2 cups corn cooked
- 1 jalapeño pepper green or red, roughly chopped
- 1/2 yellow onion roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cornmeal

Instructions
- Place 1 cup of corn along with the jalapeño pepper, onion, garlic, and cilantro into a food processor. Pulse chop the mix until it's minced. Do not process to smooth.
- Pour the mix into a large mixing bowl, then add the remaining corn, eggs, cheddar cheese, cornmeal, baking powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and cumin. Stir to combine. The mix should be sticky thick, but malleable enough to form patties.
