Ingredients
  • HAAS Avocados From Mexico (1 - 2 per person)
  • flour
  • eggs
  • Panko bread crumbs
  • salt
  • oil for frying (We used peanut, but canola is another option.)
  • corn tortillas
  • toppings of your choice (We had refried beans, iceberg lettuce, pico de gallo, onion, cilantro, radishes, cotija cheese, poblano ranch sauce, salsa roja and lime wedges available as options.)
Instructions
  1. Begin heating the oil using a large electric skillet to 375 degrees.
  2. Slice your avocados into ¼ - ½ inch strips. When buying your HAAS Avocados from Mexico be sure that they aren't too soft or they will fall apart during the cutting and scooping process. To keep things clean and simple, slice your avocado in half, remove the pit and slice the avocado into strips while still in the skin. Scoop them out with a spoon.
  3. Prepare an assembly line to coat the avocado strips prior to frying. Have three flat, shallow bowls in a row containing flour, two to three eggs whisked together with 1-2 Tbsp of water to thin them out, and Panko bread crumbs.
  4. Coat the avocado strips one by one and move them down your assembly line. First they will be coated in flour, being sure to shake off any excess. Next they will be coated in egg, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Finally, coat with Panko bread crumbs and place on a cooling rack to await frying. (The cooling rack had a paper towel underneath it for the sake of simple clean up.)
  5. Fry the avocado strips in small batches (6-8 at a time) for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Remove the avocados from the oil with a slotted spoon or fry basket and set on paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Salt to taste.
  7. Assemble the tacos: 2 corn tortillas (They are much better softened in some way -- we prepare by brushing canola oil on them and heating them on a skillet for about 5 seconds. Use 2 because 1 tends to fall apart.), warm refried beans. fried avocado strips, and any other toppings of your choice.
  8. Enjoy!
