### **Instructions**
#### **1. Prepare the Batter**
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
3. Fold in the corn, chopped jalapeño, and cilantro.
#### **2. Cook the Fritters**
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of batter for each fritter into the skillet, flattening slightly with a spoon.
3. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
#### **3. Garnish and Serve**
1. Sprinkle the warm fritters with crumbled cotija cheese.
2. Add a dash of chili powder or Tajín for extra flavor.
3. Serve with fresh lime wedges for a zesty finish.
