Fried Avocado Tacos with Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
Jalapeños are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapeños have a balanced combination of flavor and heat. The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties.
Serves: Makes 12 tacos, serves 6
INGREDIENTS
Creamy Jalapeno Sauce:
1-2 jalapenos (depending on how spicy you like it)
½ cup plain yogurt
Juice of ½ lime
Tacos:
2 large avocados
⅓ cup whole wheat flour
1 egg
1 cup whole grain panko
¼-1/3 cup Avocare avocado oil
12 corn tortillas
Shredded cabbage
Cilantro
3 radishes, diced
Lime, cut into wedges
INSTRUCTIONS
First, make the jalapeno yogurt sauce. Turn on the broiler. Place the jalapenos on a baking sheet and place under the broiler. Flip after a few minutes to char on each side.
Once charred, remove and place in a small bowl. Top with saran wrap and let sit a few minutes to cool. This allows the steam to loosen the skins.
When cool, peel the skins off the jalapeno. Cut away the stem and remove the seeds. Chop the jalapeno finely and place in a bowl with the yogurt and lime juice. Stir to combine and season with salt.
Next, prepare the breading. Place the flour in a bowl and season liberally with salt and pepper. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Place the panko in a third bowl.
Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Slice each half into about 6 spears.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
Dip each avocado slice in flour and coat. Then transfer for a quick dip in the egg, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Transfer avocado slices to the hot pan, working in batches. Fry 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and crispy. Using a slotted spatula, remove to a plate covered with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Repeat until all the avocado slices are fried.
Heat the tortillas in a microwave or over a gas flame. Top with cabbage, cilantro leaves, avocado slices and jalapeno sauce. Serve with lime wedges.
