Description
a wonderful vegetarian dish for your Cinco de Mayo celebration
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large avocado
- 1 cup of flour & a bit more for dredging
- 1 cup of beer
- 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- vegetable oil
- salt, pepper, and other seasonings of your choosing (I added chili lime hot sauce)
- tortillas
- sour cream
- fresh cilantro
- lettuce, tomato, etc. for topping
- lime wedges
Instructions
- Start by preheating 1/2 inch or so of oil in a cast iron skillet. (It is ready when a drop of batter bubbles in it.)
- Mix together flour, beer, baking powder and seasonings.
- Slice the avocado.
- Dredge slices in a bit of flour and then dip in batter.
- Fry in oil, about two minutes on each side. They will turn golden.
- Place them on a plate of paper towels to remove an excess oil.
- Place a few fried pieces in a tortilla with toppings of your choosing, like lettuce and tomato.
- I added a cilantro sour cream, using fresh herbs from our own garden.
- I also squeezed a few fresh lime wedges over top before eating.
