Creating Spicy Mexican Corn Bites is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Corn: If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it. Fresh corn should be cut from the cob.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the corn kernels, chopped onion, and cilantro until evenly mixed.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and then add it to the dry mixture. Mix until combined.
5. Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
6. Heat Oil: In a frying pan, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat until hot.
7. Form Bites: Using a spoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a small patty.
8. Fry: Carefully place the patties into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
9. Drain: Once cooked, transfer the bites to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
10. Serve: Enjoy hot with your favorite dipping sauces or toppings!
