Time 35m

Yield 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 21

Oil, for frying
2 cups instant flour, such as Wondra
1 cup beer
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 just-ripe avocados, sliced into wedges
Agave Crema, recipe follows
Eight 6-inch flour tortillas, lightly heated up on a griddle
Baja Slaw, recipe follows
Lime wedges, for serving
1 cup shaved green cabbage
1 cup shaved red cabbage
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 limes, juiced
1 Fresno chile, julienned
1 small mango, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
Salt and pepper
1 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
1 tablespoon agave
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

AIR FRYER AVOCADO TACOS



Air Fryer Avocado Tacos image

The contrast of the crispy crust and creamy inside of fried avocado slices make them a fantastic vegetarian taco filling inspired by Torchy's Tacos. This version uses the air fryer to avoid the fuss of deep frying in oil and adds a sweet-tart mango and grapefruit salsa.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2/3 cup panko
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 limes
2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and cut into 3/4-inch slices (about 12 slices)
Nonstick cooking spray
1 large ripe mango
1 grapefruit
1/2 small red onion, sliced
1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded and diced
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
4 corn tortillas
1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves

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.

FRIED AVOCADO TACOS (TACOS DE AGUACATE REBOSADO)



Fried Avocado Tacos (Tacos de aguacate rebosado) image

Provided by Shelley Wiseman

Yield Makes 12 Tacos; Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 to 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 cup (8 ounces) beer
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
3 firm-ripe avocadoes, quartered, pitted, and peeled

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure the avocado slices retain their shape during frying, make sure the batter is thick enough to coat them evenly.
  • To prevent the tacos from becoming soggy, fry the avocado slices until golden brown and crispy.
  • For a more flavorful taco, use a variety of toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.
  • If you are using corn tortillas, be sure to warm them up before assembling the tacos. This will make them more pliable and less likely to crack.
  • Serve the tacos immediately after assembling them. This will prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Fried avocado tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
