Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocados
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 whole Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Carefully peel off the skin, then slice each half into 4 to 6 wedges.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each avocado slice in flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Place the coated slices on a plate and repeat until all slices are prepared.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, ensuring the oil is about 1 inch deep. Test the oil by dropping in a few breadcrumbs; if they sizzle, it’s ready.
Fry the coated avocado slices in batches, about 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
To make the spicy lime cream, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, cayenne pepper, and cilantro in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and adjusted to taste.
Serve the crispy fried avocado slices warm with the spicy lime cream as a dipping sauce.
