Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (ripe) Avocados
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 0.25 cups Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cups Diced red onion
- 1 small (seeded and finely diced) Jalapeño
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice and scoop out the avocados into a medium mixing bowl, then mash them until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Add lime juice, salt, garlic powder, cilantro, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and finely diced jalapeño to the bowl. Mix until fully combined to make the guacamole.
Spoon the guacamole into small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm enough to handle.
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Remove the frozen guacamole balls from the freezer. Coat each ball in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully lower the breaded guacamole balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, using a slotted spoon. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the deep-fried guacamole balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as spicy mayo or salsa.
