Method

Avocado Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out some flesh to create enough space for the stuffing. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with lime juice to prevent browning. Set aside.

Stuffing

  1. 2

    Cook the Pork Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground pork, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the pork is browned and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Remove from heat and fold in shredded jack and cheddar cheese. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Breading

  1. 3

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs. Take each avocado half and fill it generously with the pork and cheese mixture.

  2. 4

    Bread the Avocados

    Dip each stuffed avocado half first into the flour, ensuring it’s coated evenly, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all avocado halves.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Fry the Avocados

    Carefully add the breaded avocado halves to the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Garnish

    Place the fried avocado halves on a serving platter. Serve with a side of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges for garnish.
