Fried Avocado Tacos

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Slice each half into wedges.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add cold water until a smooth batter forms.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Avocado

    Dip each avocado wedge into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).

  5. 5

    Drain and Assemble

    Remove the fried avocado from the oil and drain on paper towels. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan, then fill them with fried avocado, queso cotija, and fresh cilantro.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle with macha verde sauce and serve with lime wedges on the side.
