Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 whole ripe avocados
  • 1.0 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 8.0 small corn tortillas
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2.0 large eggs
  • 1.0 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1.0 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.0 to taste Salt
  • 0.0 to taste Pepper
  • 0.0 as needed Oil for frying
  • 0.0 as needed Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 0.0 as needed Lime wedges
  • 0.0 as needed Sliced radishes
  • 0.0 as needed Sliced jalapeños

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Avocados: Scoop out a small amount of flesh from the center of each avocado half to create a little well for the cheese.
  • Fill with Cheese: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper into each avocado half for seasoning. Pile about 0.125 cups of shredded cheese into each avocado well.
  • Coat the Avocados: Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with chili powder and garlic powder. Dip each avocado half into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
  • Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, pour enough oil to cover the bottom about 0.125 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  • Fry the Avocados: Carefully place the coated avocado halves in the hot oil, cut side down. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain Excess Oil: Once crispy, transfer the fried avocados to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
  • Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas until soft and pliable.
  • Assemble the Tacos: Place one crispy, cheesy avocado half onto each warm tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro and any additional toppings like sliced radishes or jalapeños.
  • Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a burst of fresh flavor.

Notes

Add sliced radishes and jalapeños for extra spice if desired.
