Ingredients

Scale

For the Avocado Fries

  • 2 large firm-ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • Avocado oil spray (for air fryer basket and avocado slices)

For the Slaw

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

For Assembly

  • 6–8 corn tortillas
  • Preferred taco toppings such as sliced red onion and favorite taco sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocado: Slice each avocado into 1/2 inch thick wedges, handling carefully to avoid breaking.
  2. Set Up Breading Stations: In a shallow dish, mix the flour and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs until combined. Place panko breadcrumbs in a third dish.
  3. Bread the Avocado Slices: Dredge each avocado wedge first in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating for crispiness.
  4. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil spray. Arrange the breaded avocado slices in a single layer with space between each piece. Depending on the size of the air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.
  5. Spray Avocado Fries: Lightly spray the tops of the breaded avocado slices with avocado oil spray to enhance browning and crispiness.
  6. Air Fry the Avocado: Cook at 400°F (204°C) for 7-8 minutes, flipping the avocado slices halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping on both sides.
  7. Make the Cilantro Lime Slaw: While the avocado cooks, combine coleslaw mix, chopped cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Toss well to incorporate all flavors evenly.
  8. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the corn tortillas until soft and pliable, either in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven.
  9. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each warm tortilla with a couple of the crispy avocado slices and a generous spoonful of the cilantro lime slaw. Add preferred taco toppings such as sliced red onion and a drizzle of your favorite taco sauce.
  10. Serve Immediately: Serve the tacos fresh for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure avocados are firm-ripe to hold their shape during breading and air frying.
  • You can substitute panko with gluten-free breadcrumbs if desired.
  • Use avocado oil spray for a neutral flavor and high smoke point; other oils with high smoke points can be substituted.
  • Customize toppings to your preference: pickled jalapeños, fresh salsa, or cheese can be great additions.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • These tacos are best enjoyed immediately for optimal avocado texture and crispiness.
