How to Make Avocado Fries With Chipotle Remoulade

  1. Combine 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and 1 tablespoon of lime juice in a blender. Puree until completely smooth.
  2. Set the chipotle puree aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chipotle puree, 1/3 at a time, tasting after each addition to adjust the spiciness to your liking.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Cover the remoulade with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  7. Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a large pot over high heat. Use an instant-read thermometer to monitor the temperature, ensuring it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  8. While the oil heats, prepare three shallow dishes: one with 1 cup all-purpose flour, one with 2 cups water mixed with 2 tablespoons lime juice, and one with 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs.
  9. Cut 2 ripe avocados lengthwise into quarters.
  10. Remove the pit and peel the avocados.
  11. Cut each avocado quarter in half to create 8 wedges.
  12. Season the avocado wedges generously with salt and pepper.
  13. Dredge each avocado wedge in the flour, then dip into the lime water, and finally coat thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs.
  14. Carefully place the breaded avocado wedges into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for approximately 3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy.
  15. Remove the fried avocados from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  16. Serve the avocado fries immediately with lime wedges and a generous dollop of the chipotle remoulade.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
