Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 chimichangas

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 ripe avocados
1 large red onion, diced
2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed and chopped (use gloves to handle these)
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (1 or 2 limes depending on size)
3 ripe tomatoes, seeds removed and diced
3 cloves garlic, roughly diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 large flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 liter vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, sliced
3 pounds ground beef
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons celery salt
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice each avocado in half lengthwise, pop out seed and slip off the skin. Smash the avocado in a bowl and add onion, chiles, cilantro, lime juice, tomatoes, and garlic and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and let sit in refrigerator for a couple of hours to allow flavors to combine.
  • Lay out tortillas and sprinkle about 1/8 cup cheese on each. Begin heating vegetable oil to 350 degrees F in deep-fryer.
  • In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat and saute onion until translucent. To this pan, add ground beef, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, celery salt, and salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Divide meat mixture into equal amounts in the pan. Then using a slotted spoon to leave excess liquid behind, transfer meat mixture to the center of each tortilla and fold the tortilla into a closed packet and secure using a wooden skewer or round toothpicks. Deep fry chimichangas until golden brown. (Alternatively, you can skip the deep frying step altogether by arranging the chimichanga packets on a baking sheet and bake until cheese melts and tortillas begin to firm up, about 5 to 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degrees F oven.) Remove skewers/toothpicks before serving.

These little guacamole bites are over the top addictive! They are so unique as well. A great addition to any appetizer platter. Serve with a salsa based dip for a perfect balance of flavour. :-) These do require some prep time, but are well worth the effort for these once in awhile, indulgent, treats. **note** prep time does NOT include freezing time

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 medium avocados
1/3 cup red onion, minced
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
3 tablespoons cilantro, minced
1 teaspoon lime zest, grated
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 large garlic cloves, minced
3 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups dry breadcrumbs, unseasoned

  • Serve immediately sprinkled, if desired, with kosher salt. :-).

FRIED GUACAMOLE



Fried Guacamole image

The fried guacamole that Angelo Sosa serves at Abajo, his tequila bar, reminded me of the fried ice cream served at some Chinese restaurants. It's creamy, crunchy and cool on the inside. It's easier than you might think and it makes for a nice tidbit to enjoy with a drink, or as a first course with a salad. You can prepare the guacamole and freeze it early in the day, leaving only the frying for the last minute. The fritters can also be kept warm in a 150 degree oven for at least 30 minutes.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 avocadoes, pitted and peeled
1 tablespoon minced, seeded jalapeño
1 tablespoon minced red onion
1 tablespoon minced cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
Salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup corn flour
Pinch baking powder
12 ounces seltzer
Vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Mash one avocado until smooth. Dice the other and mix both together. Add jalapeño, onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt to taste. Form mixture into 12 to 16 thick oval patties. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and freeze at least 1 hour.
  • Place 1/4 cup of the flour in a small bowl and lightly dust the frozen guacamole patties with it. In another bowl, mix remaining flour with corn flour, baking powder and a teaspoon of salt. Stir in seltzer.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Choose the right oil: Use a high-heat oil like grapeseed or canola oil for frying. Avoid using olive oil, as it has a low smoke point and can burn easily.
  • Season the guacamole well: Before frying, season the guacamole with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will help to enhance the flavor of the guacamole.
  • Use a shallow frying pan: A shallow frying pan will allow the guacamole to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Fry the guacamole in small batches: Do not overcrowd the frying pan, as this will prevent the guacamole from cooking evenly. Fry the guacamole in small batches to ensure that it cooks through.
  • Drain the guacamole on paper towels: After frying, drain the guacamole on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the guacamole immediately: Fried guacamole is best served immediately after frying, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Fried guacamole is a unique and flavorful twist on a classic Mexican dish. By following these tips, you can easily make delicious fried guacamole at home. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to create your own unique version of this tasty appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
