How To Make Avocado Tacos
Ingredients needed
- Avocados
- All-purpose flour
- Plain breadcrumbs
- Egg
- Milk
- Seasonings (listed below)
Quick tips before starting the recipe
- When picking the tacos it is very important to choose the perfect ripeness. For this recipe you do not want them super ripe and soft. They will need to be hard enough to easily handle and fry. The avocados do not have to be rock hard but they should be firm with a very little give to them.
- There are a ton of options when making avocado tacos. They are vegetarian friendly so your favorite veggies are perfect. I suggest having fun with them such as salsa and fresh ingredients but also textures to balance out the creaminess and crisp coming from the fried avocado.
Making the fried avocado tacos
- First, set up breading stations. Season the flour with the spices listed and set up a plate for the flour, breading and a bowl with the egg wash.
- Next, slice the avocado and dip into the seasoned flour. Next, into the egg wash then roll the avocado in the breading.
- Once you have all the avocados breaded add oil to a frying pan. Only deep enough to cover half the breaded avocado. You can flip them no need for deep frying.
- Then, with the heat on medium high and the oil around a temperature of 300F fry the avocados. Turn them over after about 45 seconds because they do not need to cook long. You want them golden brown.
- After you have fried all the avocados you can build the tacos and serve them.
