Ingredients
  

For Avocado Schnitzel

  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup matzo meal
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Neutral oil for frying

For Tacos

  • 1 jalapeno, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 eggs, whisked
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tortillas
  • 4 slices cheese (your choice!)
  • Hot sauce, cilantro, sesame seeds or other toppings of your choice!

Instructions
 

  • First, fry your avocado! Slice the avocado in half and carefully remove the pit. Then remove the skin and cut each half into eight pieces.
  • Set up your bowls: in one shallow bowl add flour, in one add one whisked egg, and in one add matzo meal, salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, and sesame seeds and combine. Dip the avocado pieces one at a time in the flour, shake off excess, then the egg, let excess drip, and then the matzo meal. Use alternating hands for wet and dry ingredients so it all stays as clean as possible.
  • Set aside a cooling rack over a towel. In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat about 1-inch of neutral oil and heat to 350 degrees. Fry the avocado in batches, about 2-4 minutes, flipping as necessary, until all sides are brown and crispy. Let cool slightly on the cooling rack and sprinkle with more salt.
  • Drain most of the oil from the pan and fry the jalapeno slices until slightly brown. Drain on a paper towel.
  • Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add butter. Melt the butter, swirl, add four whisked eggs and immediately lower heat to low. Let eggs start to set, remove from heat for 10 seconds and mix with a spatula. Place back on the heat for 10 seconds until they start to set more and remove from the heat and mix. Repeat until the eggs are just done. Transfer immediately to a plate and season with salt and pepper.
  • Almost taco time! In the pan you cooked the jalapenos in, fry the tortillas on one side. Flip and add cheese, and fry until cheese is melted. You can cover if the bottom is getting brown before the cheese is melted to speed up the melting.
  • Assembly time! Top each tortilla with a little egg, 1-2 avocado slices (if you do 1 per taco, you can make up to 8 from one avocado), jalapenos, hot sauce, cilantro, sesame seeds, or whatever you like! A creamy sauce would be tasty here too.
