BEER-BATTERED FRIED AVOCADO WEDGES
A snazzy way to play with avocados *UPDATE* Some have said it's kinda mild and I agree. I came up with this originally for a cpl. fambly members who like it that way. BUT, I just now (02/24/2012) added the creole seasoning to help perk it up a bit. I hope this helps some of ya'll to enjoy it more and for those that like it mild just kinda ignore the creole addition. Have a good day peeps.

Steps:
- Combine avocados, chiles, cheese, onion and bacon, mixing well. Divide mixture in fourths, and spread mixture on each tortilla, leaving a 1/4-inch edge. Fold each tortilla in half and crimp edges.
- Brush a large skillet and tortillas with melted butter.
- Fry until golden brown or until cheese melts. Cut each into 4 wedges and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Avocado: Opt for ripe avocados with a deep green or blackish skin. Gently press the avocado; it should yield to slight pressure but not feel mushy.
- Preparing the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Twist the halves in opposite directions to separate them. Remove the pit and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
- Slicing Techniques: For classic avocado wedges, cut each half lengthwise into three or four even slices. Alternatively, slice the avocado crosswise for thicker wedges.
- Using Avocado Wedges: Avocado wedges are a versatile ingredient. Add them to salads, sandwiches, wraps, and burgers. They can also be used as a topping for tacos, nachos, and tostadas.
- Storing Avocado Wedges: Store leftover avocado wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze avocado wedges for up to six months.
