Ingredients

Scale

Avocado Tacos

  • 2 large firm-ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 6–8 corn tortillas
  • Preferred taco toppings (such as red onion slices, taco sauce)

Cilantro Lime Slaw

  • 2 cups coleslaw mix
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Slice the Avocado: Cut the firm-ripe avocados into 1/2 inch thick wedges, ensuring they hold their shape during cooking.
  2. Prepare Breading Stations: Pour the flour and 1 teaspoon kosher salt into a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs with a fork until well combined. Add the panko breadcrumbs to a third shallow dish.
  3. Bread the Avocado: Dredge each avocado wedge first in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs for a crispy outer layer.
  4. Preheat and Prepare Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with avocado oil spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the breaded avocado wedges in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between the pieces. Work in batches if needed.
  5. Spray Avocado Wedges: Lightly spray the tops of the breaded avocado wedges with avocado oil spray to help them crisp up during cooking.
  6. Air Fry: Cook the avocado wedges at 400°F (204°C) for 7-8 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  7. Prepare Cilantro Lime Slaw: While the avocado fries, combine the coleslaw mix, chopped cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Stir well to blend the flavors.
  8. Warm Tortillas and Assemble Tacos: Warm the corn tortillas until pliable. Fill each tortilla with a few slices of the crispy fried avocado and a generous portion of the cilantro lime slaw. Add preferred taco toppings such as red onion slices and a drizzle of your favorite taco sauce.
  9. Serve Immediately: Serve the assembled avocado tacos hot for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use firm-ripe avocados to ensure slices hold their shape when breaded and air fried.
  • Avocado oil spray or any high smoke point oil spray helps achieve crispy texture.
  • Work in batches if your air fryer basket is small to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Customize toppings with ingredients like sliced radishes, pickled jalapeños, or crumbled cheese for extra flavor.
  • Warm tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for softness before assembling.
