Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 large avocado
- 1 cup of flour, plus more for dredging
- 1 cup of beer
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Chili lime hot sauce, to taste (optional)
- Tortillas, for serving
Instructions
- Start by preheating about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. The oil is ready when a drop of batter bubbles immediately upon contact.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of beer, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, salt, pepper, and chili lime hot sauce if using. Stir until smooth to form the batter.
- Slice the avocado into wedges.
- Dredge each avocado slice in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered avocado slices into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the avocado slices from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.
- Assemble the tacos by placing the fried avocado slices in the tortillas. Add additional toppings such as salsa, sour cream, or cheese if desired.
Notes
Serve these tacos immediately for the best texture. You can add your favorite toppings like salsa, cheese, or sour cream. If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili lime hot sauce in the batter. Store any leftover fried avocado slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in an oven to maintain crispiness.
