Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Add the cereal and taco seasoning to a food processor. Blend into a fine crumb mixture, then place the mixture in a shallow bowl.
  3. Place the hot sauce in another shallow bowl.
  4. Slice the avocados open, remove the pits, then slice each avocado into 12 slices (for 24 total slices) and remove them from the skin.
  5. Dip the avocado slices into the hot sauce.
  6. Once covered in the hot sauce, dredge the avocado slices in the taco seasoned cereal crumb mixture.
  7. Place on an oiled wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Prepare the tacos by warming the tortillas in the oven wrapped in foil for 5 minutes.
  9. Heat the refried black beans in the microwave for 30 seconds, then spread in the middle of each of the tortillas.
  10. Add 3 crispy avocado strips to each taco and top with the corn salsa.

Notes

  • The easiest way to get clean, even strips of avocado is to slice a whole avocado into four quarters. Remove the pit, then slice each of the quarters into three equal slices and remove from the skin.
  • Bread crumbs can also be used to bread the avocado. I like using Rice Chex cereal because it also makes these tacos gluten free.
  • Served in corn tortillas and breaded in a gluten free cereal, such as Rice Chex, these avocado tacos are gluten free.  Other cereals can be used to bread these tacos, such as corn flakes. Always check the cereal box to make sure it's gluten free.
