Let's Get Cooking!
For the Yogurt-Cilantro Dressing:
- Squeeze the lime juice into the yogurt. mix in the chopped cilantro, finely diced shallot, salt, and pepper.
For the Deep-Fried Avocados:
- Cut around the lengthwise circumference of the avocados and twist open. Remove the pit, and slice each half into four lengthwise slices in the shell. Scoop out the slices with a spoon.
- Prepare your breading station: put the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs into separate bowls. Coat the avocado slices in flour, then egg, then panko, and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a deep, heavy pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Gently place half of the avocado slices into the hot oil and cook for a couple minutes on the first side. Carefully flip them over and cook for a couple more minutes, until they're a gorgeous golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs and drain on a paper towel.
To assemble the tacos:
- Toast the tortillas directly over a low gas burner or in a hot skillet. Layer them with pickled red cabbage and dollop some yogurt-cilantro dressing. Place two fried avocado slices on top and spoon on some tomato salsa. Squeeze lime over the top and serve immediately.
