I only had molotes for the first time recently. I know, living in Southern California, I really can’t believe it! They were incredibly good! The molotes were perfectly fried, the masa on the outside wasn’t too thick or thin and the filling was simple, but packed with flavor. It was served with a creamy avocado dipping sauce that was perfectly mild and totally went well together.

I was really excited about the molotes we had so I had to come home and attempt to recreate my own version for you guys. This is a great recipe because these guys freeze so well, so you can make a big batch of these guys and then freeze them, pre-fried, then you can pull them out whenever you want a tasty app. I know frying can be a drag, but these guys really can’t be baked, you won’t get the light and crispy shell of masa if you try to bake these lil guys. They’re really good though and worth a try for sure! Enjoy! xx, Jenny
