• Wash and dry produce. • Drain and rinse corn. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime.

• In a medium bowl, whisk together tempura batter mix, Fajita Spice Blend, stock concentrate, 1/3 cup cold water, ½ tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper (2⁄3 cup cold water and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings). • Stir in corn, scallion whites, and Mexican cheese blend. TIP: Batter should be thick but not dry; add a splash of water if needed. **Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid or rinse shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken or shrimp; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.**

• Heat a 1/3-inch layer of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles, carefully add 1½-TBSP scoops of batter to pan; press down lightly with a spoon. (For 4 servings, you may need to work in batches.) Cook until golden brown and crispy, 3-4 minutes per side. TIP: If the fritters start to brown too quickly or oil splatters, lower the heat. • Transfer fritters to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with a pinch of salt. • Once cool enough to handle, cut fritters in half. **Use pan used for chicken or shrimp here.**

• Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30-60 seconds.

• Evenly fill tortillas with red pepper crema, fritters, pico de gallo (draining first), and as much hot sauce as you like; garnish with cilantro and scallion greens. **Add chicken or shrimp to tortillas along with fritters.**

• Divide tacos between plates; serve with a squeeze of lime juice and any remaining lime wedges on the side. ***Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
