Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 eggs, beaten
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon adobo sauce (from the can of chipotle peppers)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Slice the avocados in half and remove the pits. Slice each avocado half into 4-5 long slices.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, flour, salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
3. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
4. Dip each avocado slice into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Place the coated avocado slices on a plate or baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
6. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
7. Working in batches, carefully add the chilled avocado slices to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
8. Remove the fried avocado slices from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. To make the chipotle lime dipping sauce, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, minced chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
10. Serve the fried avocado slices hot with the chipotle lime dipping sauce on the side.
11. Enjoy!
