Fried Avocado Tacos (Tacos de aguacate rebosado)

These crispy fried avocado tacos offer a brilliant plant-based alternative to the classic Baja fish taco. By dipping firm avocado wedges into a simple beer batter and frying them until golden, you create a beautiful contrast between the crunchy exterior and the buttery, warm centre. It is a satisfying vegan dish that highlights how versatile the humble avocado can be when treated with a bit of heat and seasoning.

Perfect for a quick midweek dinner or a casual weekend gathering, this recipe is naturally filling and packed with healthy fats. Serve these golden wedges in soft corn tortillas with a generous squeeze of lime, some crunchy shredded cabbage, and a dollop of dairy-free soured cream or spicy salsa. They are best enjoyed immediately while the batter is at its crispest.

Ingredients for Fried Avocado Tacos (Tacos de aguacate rebosado)

  • 725 to 950ml vegetable oil for frying

  • 240ml (230g) beer

  • 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 130g flour

  • 3 firm-ripe avocadoes, quartered, pitted, and peeled

How to make Fried Avocado Tacos (Tacos de aguacate rebosado)

Heat the oil in a 4-quart pot or a wok until a deep-fat thermometer registers 182°C.

Put the beer in a wide bowl and stir in the salt. Put the flour in another wide bowl.

Cut each quarter of avocado into 3 long wedges and dunk the wedges first in the beer, then turn them gently in the flour to coat.

Transfer about 6 avocado slices at a time to the oil and fry until a light-golden crust forms, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Fry more avocado slices in the same manner until all slices have been fried.

Make tacos with 3 slices of avocado and the accompaniments.
