Ingredients

• 2 medium (ripe) Avocados
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
• 0.25 cups Diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cups Diced red onion
• 1 small (seeded and finely diced) Jalapeño
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 4 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Slice and scoop out the avocados into a medium mixing bowl, then mash them until smooth but still slightly chunky.

Step 2

Add lime juice, salt, garlic powder, cilantro, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and finely diced jalapeño to the bowl. Mix until fully combined to make the guacamole.

Step 3

Spoon the guacamole into small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm enough to handle.

Step 4

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Remove the frozen guacamole balls from the freezer. Coat each ball in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Carefully lower the breaded guacamole balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, using a slotted spoon. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the deep-fried guacamole balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as spicy mayo or salsa.
