The flavors of the tomatoes are developed by marinating in a fresh, mixed herb dressing and then further enhanced with a drizzle of chile-flavored crème fraîche. A crispy outside and a tender interior makes the corn fritters delectable on their own, but when used to sop up the tomato juices on your plate they become nothing less than completely addictive.
In this classic preparation the robust flavors of Anaheim chiles are mellowed by the richness of the pork, creamy potatoes, and sweet corn. Charring the tortillas adds a bit of smoke.
