Fried Guacamole

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

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

  2. 2

    Bread the Avocados

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with gluten-free flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with gluten-free breadcrumbs. Dip each avocado wedge first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs to coat.

  3. 3

    Fry the Avocados

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the breaded avocado wedges in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Mango Sauce

    In a blender, combine diced mango, lime juice, honey, and salt. Blend until smooth and set aside.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, mix together diced tomatoes, red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir to combine.
