Crispy Baked Avocado Tacos

An easy way to amp up Taco Tuesday or any meal! Creamy, decadent avocado in a crisp lettuce boat and topped with pico de gallo and Sriracha aioli

Crispy Baked Avocado Tacos

The perfect combination of fresh + indulgent tasting + a little kick!

These simple tacos are one of my favorites…  A fabulous flavor combo, warm and decadent tasting but still fresh and light.

Plus super easy to make!

The avocado is oven-fried, resulting in crunchy breading and creamy, decadent avocado. Served in a crisp lettuce boat with pico de gallo and spicy Sriracha aioli.  It has a freshness and a bit of a kick. Indulgent tasting and totally satisfying but still fresh and light.

Crispy avocados adapted from an Eating Well recipe, they are super easy to make and beyond delicious.

You start with a firm avocado and cut it into thick slices.  Dip in flour, egg, then gluten-free panko and bake!

 

15-20 minutes later you have golden, crispy coated avocado with a warm creamy center.

 

The Sriracha aioli is a long time favorite and can be made as spicy as you like.

Pico de gallo can be store-bought or easy recipe below.

Best part is, the entire meal can be made ahead and heated up as needed.

Hope you love these as much as we do!

  2. These are great! The crispy avocado is so crunchy and still filling and delicious! I actually substituted the siete tortillas instead of the lettuce which is great but I’m sure the lettuce is as well. Was just feeling like the tortilla that day!
