How to Make Alligator Claws Avocado Fritters With Chipotle Lime Dip
- Combine 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup ice water in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- Cut 2 ripe avocados into 1/2 inch thick wedges, resembling claws.
- Gently dip each avocado wedge into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the battered avocado wedges in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- For the chipotle lime dip: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup crème fraîche (or vegan sour cream), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to your spice preference), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve the warm avocado fritters immediately with the chipotle lime dip. Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges (optional).
