Masa Dusted Fried Avocado Recipe

Prepare the Avocados

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

Dust with Masa

In a shallow dish, add masa harina, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the avocado wedges in the masa mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

Fry the Avocados

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the masa-dusted avocado wedges in the oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, remove excess oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add sliced bell peppers and onions, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted.

Assemble the Dish

Warm the fresh tortillas. Spread a layer of refried black beans on each tortilla. Top with sautéed peppers, onions, and spinach. Add the fried avocado wedges on top.

Garnish and Serve

Finish with pico de gallo, chopped cilantro, a drizzle of crema, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese. Serve immediately.
