Fried Guacamole Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and pit avocados. In a bowl, coarsely mash avocados; fold in onion, jalapenos, cilantro, lime zest and juice, salt, pepper, and garlic.
• Line an 8-inch square baking pan with wax or parchment paper. Spoon avocado mixture into pan; spread into an even layer. Place another sheet of parchment on top; freeze until solid, 6 to 8 hours.
• At least 30 mins before serving, in a small shallow bowl, beat eggs with 3 tablespoons water.
• Remove avocado mixture to a cutting board; cut into small cubes. Dip each cube in flour, then egg wash, breadcrumbs, and again in wash and breadcrumbs. Arrange in a large baking pan; cover and return to the freezer until firm, 20 to 30 minutes. (You can leave these overnight in the freezer if you want to have the prep work done ahead of time.).
• When you are ready to cook these, in a deep skillet or pot, heat oil to 350°F Fry frozen guacamole bites in batches until golden; drain on paper towels.
• Serve immediately sprinkled, if desired, with kosher salt. :-).

Steps:

• Mash one avocado until smooth. Dice the other and mix both together. Add jalapeño, onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt to taste. Form mixture into 12 to 16 thick oval patties. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and freeze at least 1 hour.
• Place 1/4 cup of the flour in a small bowl and lightly dust the frozen guacamole patties with it. In another bowl, mix remaining flour with corn flour, baking powder and a teaspoon of salt. Stir in seltzer.
• Heat oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large skillet. Coat floured guacamole patties in batter and fry on medium-high until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn to fry second side. Drain on absorbent paper and serve.

Steps:

• Slice each avocado in half lengthwise, pop out seed and slip off the skin. Smash the avocado in a bowl and add onion, chiles, cilantro, lime juice, tomatoes, and garlic and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and let sit in refrigerator for a couple of hours to allow flavors to combine.
• Lay out tortillas and sprinkle about 1/8 cup cheese on each. Begin heating vegetable oil to 350 degrees F in deep-fryer.
• In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat and saute onion until translucent. To this pan, add ground beef, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, celery salt, and salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Divide meat mixture into equal amounts in the pan. Then using a slotted spoon to leave excess liquid behind, transfer meat mixture to the center of each tortilla and fold the tortilla into a closed packet and secure using a wooden skewer or round toothpicks. Deep fry chimichangas until golden brown. (Alternatively, you can skip the deep frying step altogether by arranging the chimichanga packets on a baking sheet and bake until cheese melts and tortillas begin to firm up, about 5 to 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degrees F oven.) Remove skewers/toothpicks before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine onion, tomatoes, pepper and 1 tablespoon oil; gently toss to coat. Grill, covered, over medium-high heat or broil 4 in. from heat until tender and charred, turning occasionally, 6-8 minutes. Brush avocados with remaining oil. Grill or broil avocados, cut side facing the heat, until charred, 4-6 minutes. Cool vegetables completely., Chop onion, tomatoes and pepper; set aside. Peel avocados; transfer to a large bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in vegetables, cilantro, lime juice, cumin and salt. Serve immediately with chips.
