Fried Guacamole Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Guacamole

   In a medium bowl, scoop out the ripe avocados and mash them with a fork until smooth. Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, diced jalapeño, and salt. Mix well until combined.

2. 2

   Prepare for Frying

   Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Form the Guacamole Balls

   Using your hands, form the guacamole mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

4. 4

   Coat the Guacamole Balls

   Roll each guacamole ball in flour, dip it in beaten eggs, and then coat it with panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully covered.

5. 5

   Fry the Guacamole Balls

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded guacamole balls in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the fried guacamole balls hot with a side of tortilla chips.
