Heavenly Fried Avo Tacos

Cook Time30 minutes mins

Course: Dinner, Lunch, Main Courses

Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

• 1 box gluten-free vegan breadcrumbs 10.5 ounces or 2 cups corn chips blended
• 1 teaspoon salt divided
• 2 ripe avocados peeled and sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil plus more for frying
• 3 teaspoons relish
• 1 cup vegan mayo
• 1 small head green cabbage shredded
• ¼ cup shredded red cabbage
• 12 tortillas gluten-free flour or Corn for gluten-free

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (if baking the avocado).
• Put the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl and mix in ½ teaspoon of the salt. Dip the avocado slices into the breadcrumbs, pressing to coat; set aside.
• You can either pan fry or bake the avocado. To pan-fry: coat a large skillet with oil and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the breaded avocado slices and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain. To bake: line a baking sheet with parchment and grease the parchment with a little olive oil.
• Arrange the avocado slices on top and bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
• To make the sauce, combine the relish, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and vegan mayo in a small bowl. Stir well with a fork until no lumps remain. Taste and add a little relish juice for extra flavor. Hot sauce (optional)
• Heat the tortillas in a skillet over low heat, or warm them in the oven.
• Mix together the green and red cabbage in a large bowl.
• In the center of each tortilla, place 2 avocado nuggets, a handful of cabbage, a dollop of sauce, and a few drops of hot sauce, if you like. Celebrate this miracle on Taco Tuesday! or Sacred Sunday
