Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pico de Gallo

    Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño. Mix them with chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Lime Crema

    In a small bowl, mix sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut avocados in half, remove the pit, and slice each half into wedges. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add cold water until smooth.

  2. 5

    Fry the Avocados

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dip avocado wedges into the batter, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
