Fried Avocado Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• Heat enough oil to come 3 inches up the sides of a Dutch oven until it reaches 375 degrees F.
• To make the batter, in a large bowl whisk together flour, beer, 1/2 cup water, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper.
• Season the avocado segments with salt and pepper. Dunk each segment of avocado into the batter. Let any excess batter drip off, and slip into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot, until the outside is golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined sheet tray or a wire rack.
• Place a layer of the Agave Crema on a warm tortilla, top with a couple of pieces of the fried avocado and a spoonful of the Baja Slaw. Serve with couple of lime wedges and plenty of cold beers.
• Mix the green cabbage, red cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, chiles, mangoes and some salt and pepper together in a bowl. Let sit for at least 20 minutes for the flavors to meld.
• Mix the crema, agave and cumin together in a bowl. Season with some salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Make the salsa: Snap the stems off the chiles and remove the seeds. Using tongs, carefully hold the chiles over a medium flame to char on all sides. Transfer chiles to a food processor, add the salt and process into a powder. Add the garlic and tomatillos and purée until smooth. (This makes 1 pint salsa, more than needed; refrigerate the rest in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)
• To serve, place 3 or 4 slices of avocado on each tortilla and top with salsa, onion and cilantro.

Steps:

• Combine the first 8 ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate, covered, until serving., Preheat air fryer to 400°. Place egg in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, mix cornmeal, salt, garlic powder and chipotle pepper. Dip avocado slices in egg, then into cornmeal mixture, gently patting to help adhere., In batches, place avocado slices in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 4 minutes. Turn; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes longer. Serve avocado slices in tortillas with kale mix, tomato, additional minced cilantro and, if desired, queso fresco.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a 4-quart pot or a wok until a deep-fat thermometer registers 360°F.
• Put the beer in a wide bowl and stir in the salt. Put the flour in another wide bowl.
• Cut each quarter of avocado into 3 long wedges and dunk the wedges first in the beer, then turn them gently in the flour to coat.
• Transfer about 6 avocado slices at a time to the oil and fry until a light-golden crust forms, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Fry more avocado slices in the same manner until all slices have been fried.
• Make tacos with 3 slices of avocado and the accompaniments.

Steps:

• Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 390 degrees F.
• Whisk together the panko, cumin, paprika, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a shallow bowl. Juice 1 lime into a shallow bowl. Dip an avocado slice into the lime juice, then firmly press into the panko mixture, turning to coat on all sides. Place in the air fryer basket and repeat with the remaining slices. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the mango salsa. Cut the mango into two halves and remove the skin. Cut each half vertically into thin strips, then flip each strip on its side and julienne diagonally into thin matchsticks.
• Using a sharp knife (chef's or paring), cut both ends off the grapefruit. Stand the grapefruit on one end and cut away the peel and white pith, following the contour of the fruit. Carefully cut in between the membranes to remove the grapefruit segments, letting them drop onto the cutting board. Dice the segments.
• Combine the grapefruit, mango, red onion and jalapeño in a medium bowl. Squeeze the remaining juice from the center of the grapefruit into the bowl. Zest one lime and add the zest to the bowl, then juice it into the bowl. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir together and set aside.
• Mix the yogurt with the juice of the third lime in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Place 2 tortillas on each of 2 plates. Spoon a quarter of the Greek yogurt onto each tortilla and top with 3 pieces of fried avocado. Spoon a quarter of the mango salsa onto each and garnish with cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• To make corn salsa: Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute corn with salt and pepper, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients (including the 2 remaining tablespoons olive oil) and let sit 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
• To make tacos: Combine flour, 1/3 cup water, cumin, salt and pepper to make a batter.
• In a separate bowl, combine quinoa, poppy seeds and sesame seeds.
• Place flour for dusting into a third bowl.
• Season avocado liberally with salt.
• To coat avocado, dust wedges with flour, shaking off all excess. Dip floured wedges into batter to coat lightly and then roll each wedge in the seed mixture, pressing gently to form a complete crust.
• Heat 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375° in a small pot. In batches, fry the coated avocado wedges in the hot oil until seeds are golden and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes, and then transfer to a rack to drain.
• To assemble the tacos, place a piece of lettuce in the center of each warm tortilla and top with a crispy avocado wedge, a generous spoonful of Corn Salsa and a cilantro sprig. Serve immediately.
