It’s like the best ever chips and guac all in one, delicious, crispy little package.
Makes about 16 inch and a half balls
3 perfectly ripe avocados
1/3 cup finely diced white onion
1/3 cup loosely packed chopped cilantro
1 chipotle pepper, minced (the kind in adobo sauce)
1 lime
Good pinch kosher salt & ground pepper
2 cups flour
2 large eggs, beaten
Crushed tortilla chips, I used blue AND yellow corn - you’ll need about a cup and a half of each, or 2 cups if just using one kind
Oil for frying
Put the avo meat (weird huh) in a bowl with the onion, cilantro, chipotle and juice of 1/2 the lime
Mix well to combine, taste for salt then form into small balls and put on a plate lined with parchment - freeze at least 2 hours
Fill a pot or cast iron pan with a couple inches of oil and heat to 360 degrees
Put flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and then your crushed corn chips (whichever you’re using) on a plate
Coat balls first in flour (shaking off excess) then into egg, (dripping off excess) and finally into the corn chip crumbs
Fry, not overcrowding the plan about 3 minutes, then put on paper towels to drain slightly
