Vegetarian Fried Avocado Tacos Recipe

Fried avocados have become a new obsession of mine. They’re everything you could want from a snack- crispy, creamy, and flavorful! They’re great on their own but (in my opinion) even better when you add them to tacos. Fried avocados are a great meat substitute making this recipe great for vegetarian diets! Even the carnivores in your family will appreciate these delicious tacos. They’re just too good to resist. I also added chopped veggies, cotija cheese, and an AMAZING cilantro lime dressing to my fried avocado tacos. You can mix and match toppings to your liking, but I think this combo takes the flavor of these tacos to the next level! No need to go to that high-end taco restaurant when you can make these bad boys at home! They have the most crave-worthy flavor and texture. I’m sure they’ll become a new favorite of yours just like they have for me!

Ingredients You’ll Need for Fried Avocado Tacos

This recipe uses a lot of pantry staples which makes preparing these tacos a breeze. Feel free to customize these with all of your favorite toppings! See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for measurements.

Cooking Oil: You’ll need this for frying your avocados in. I used vegetable oil! Avocados: Look for avocados that are slightly firm so that they hold up through the breading process. Eggs: Help the delicious breading stick. Flour: Helps add to the crispiness of the breading. All-purpose flour works just fine! Panko: Gives your fried avocado their perfect crunch. Seasonings: I added a mix of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt to the breading mixture. You can add in a pinch of cayenne or paprika, too, if you want a bit of heat. Flour Tortillas: Use your favorite brand or make them from scratch for the freshest flavor! You can find my homemade tortilla recipe here. Optional Toppings: I used sliced red onion, red cabbage, cilantro, and cotija cheese. Cilantro Lime Dressing: A creamy dressing with zesty flavor to drizzle on top! This is what makes these tacos so great!

How to Make Fried Avocado Tacos

Although you need to deep-fry your avocado wedges, it’s actually really simple! You’ll have golden, delicious avocado fries ready to go in no time. (Psst- if you want to bake your avocado wedges instead of frying them, I have a recipe for that here!)

Use Firm Avocados: This is a recipe that’s perfect for using avocados that aren’t quite ripe yet. You want any avocados you use to be firm so that they don’t fall apart as your bread them. Make Homemade Tortillas: It’s no secret that making your tortillas from scratch is the best way to level up homemade tacos. You can find my recipe here! It’s super easy and you only need a handful of simple ingredients to whip some up! For a gluten-free version, try making these homemade corn tortillas! More Toppings: Try adding pinto beans, refried beans, black beans, cilantro rice, fajita veggies, chickpeas, or salsa to your tacos!

Storing Leftover Fried Avocado: Store your leftover fried avocado wedges in the fridge in an airtight container. They will last for 1-2 days. To reheat them, pop them in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
