  • On a hot griddle, roast the onion along with the garlic until they have a dark color, stirring constantly to ensure all sides cook evenly. Remove from heat. Blend together with the hydrated guajillo chili, oregano, water, and the Knorr® Tomato cube until fully integrated.
  • Pour the blended mixture into a pot with hot olive oil, cook over medium-low heat for 8 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm until use.
  • In a bowl, place the sweet potatoes in cubes, and using a potato masher, mash until you obtain a purée; add the zucchini, carrot, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, cornstarch, cuaresmeño chili, egg, ground oats, and cilantro, mix and combine until obtaining a workable consistency.
  • Take a bit of the mixture and, using your hands, form a small sphere, then flatten it to form a fritter about half a centimeter thick. In a hot skillet with olive oil, cook the fritters on both sides over medium-low heat. Drain on paper towels.
  • Serve the fritters drenched in tomato sauce, accompanied by Cotija cheese, and garnish with cilantro leaves.
