Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 chimichangas

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 ripe avocados
1 large red onion, diced
2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed and chopped (use gloves to handle these)
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (1 or 2 limes depending on size)
3 ripe tomatoes, seeds removed and diced
3 cloves garlic, roughly diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 large flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 liter vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, sliced
3 pounds ground beef
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons celery salt
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

These little guacamole bites are over the top addictive! They are so unique as well. A great addition to any appetizer platter. Serve with a salsa based dip for a perfect balance of flavour. :-) These do require some prep time, but are well worth the effort for these once in awhile, indulgent, treats. **note** prep time does NOT include freezing time

2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 large garlic cloves, minced

FRIED GUACAMOLE



Fried Guacamole image

The fried guacamole that Angelo Sosa serves at Abajo, his tequila bar, reminded me of the fried ice cream served at some Chinese restaurants. It's creamy, crunchy and cool on the inside. It's easier than you might think and it makes for a nice tidbit to enjoy with a drink, or as a first course with a salad. You can prepare the guacamole and freeze it early in the day, leaving only the frying for the last minute. The fritters can also be kept warm in a 150 degree oven for at least 30 minutes.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 avocadoes, pitted and peeled
1 tablespoon minced, seeded jalapeño
1 tablespoon minced red onion
1 tablespoon minced cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
Salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup corn flour
Pinch baking powder
12 ounces seltzer
Vegetable oil for frying

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.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Make sure your avocados are perfectly ripe, but not overripe. You want them to be soft but still hold their shape when sliced.
  • Use a food processor: Using a food processor will help you achieve a smooth and creamy guacamole. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the avocado with a fork, but it will take a bit longer.
  • Don't over-mix: Be careful not to over-mix the guacamole, or it will become too runny. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined and creamy.
  • Season to taste: Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, lime juice, or chili powder.
  • Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Fried guacamole is a delicious and unique way to enjoy this classic Mexican dish. It is perfect for parties or gatherings, and it can also be served as a side dish or appetizer. With its crispy outer shell and creamy, flavorful interior, fried guacamole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
