Ingredients

For the Avocado

  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced into wedges
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Oil spray

For Serving

  • 8 small tortillas
  • Optional toppings: shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, sour cream, or crema

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Breading Station: Place the flour in one bowl, beat the egg in a second bowl, and in a third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to season the coating.
  2. Bread the Avocado Slices: Dip each avocado wedge first into the flour, then into the beaten egg, and finally into the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (205°C) and let it preheat. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Air Fry the Avocado: Arrange the coated avocado wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Spray the tops with oil and air fry for 7 to 8 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through cooking until golden and crisp.
  5. Warm the Tortillas: While the avocado cooks, warm the tortillas in a skillet or air fryer for 1 to 2 minutes to make them pliable and ready for filling.
  6. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each warmed tortilla with the crispy avocado slices and top with desired toppings such as shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, sour cream, or crema. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure avocados are ripe but firm to hold their shape during breading and air frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Feel free to customize toppings to your preference, including fresh herbs or hot sauce.
  • If preferred, use gluten-free flour and panko for a gluten-free version.
