Fried Avocado Tacos
These deep-fried avocado tacos are crunchy and creamy and spicy with the addition of a Sriracha crema and because I love spice I drizzled the fried avocados with even more sriracha hot chili sauce. I love the combination of flavors and textures in these tacos.

Instructions
Fried Avocados:
- Place almond flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs into three separate shallow medium bowls.
- Add salt, chili powder, and oregano to the breadcrumbs and combine.
- Brush avocado slices with olive oil.
- Working in batches, dredge in almond flour, shaking off excess. Coat with egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Coat with bread crumbs, pressing to adhere.
- Pour oil into a large deep skillet and heat on medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry avocado, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain.
Cup of Yum

Fried Avocado Tacos:
- Spread sriracha crema on tortillas and top with fried avocado, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, queso fresco, and cilantro. For an extra kick drizzle with more Sriracha.
Notes
- If you cannot find queso fresco, use crumbled feta instead.
- Full-fat sour cream can be used instead of crema.
