Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup canola oil , or as needed
1 large acorn squash - peeled, seeded, and grated
2 tbsp grated red onion
1 serrano chile pepper, finely chopped
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 egg
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt, or more to taste
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
4 corn tortillas
1/4 cup shredded lettuce , or to taste
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup freshly grated cotija cheese

Directions:

Heat canola oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot over medium heat.
Mix squash, onion, serrano pepper, flour, egg, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
Drop squash mixture by the spoonful, working in batches, in the hot oil; fry until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer squash fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Fry the corn tortillas in the hot oil until crisp, about 2 minutes per side.
Layer each tortilla with lettuce, squash fritters, avocado, tomato, and a tablespoon of cotija cheese.
