Fried Avocado Tacos

I have something to admit.

I don’t particularly love Thanksgiving food. I mean, it’s alright, but if you ask me, there’s a reason why people only prepare it once a year. Don’t get me wrong, pumpkin spice is nice, but a girl can only have so much!

Tacos, on the other hand, I will never get tired of. In honor of stuffing and cranberry sauce being retired until next Thanksgiving, we decided to celebrate with these fried avocado tacos!

With all the sage and rosemary seasoned dishes I’ve been eating these past few weeks, my taste buds were begging for a different flavor profile and these fried avocado tacos hit the right spot!

  1. this is the best slaw I have EVER made… and I’ve made quite a few. This is my new staple… so thank you! The funny thing is that it says it’s “jalapeno” slaw but there is no jalapeno in it? Maybe the hot sauce that you use has jalapeno? haha anyway thanks for the recipe!!!

    1. Kat,

      There is actual jalapeno in the slaw…not sure if that part of the recipe was deleted while I edited the site, but I have updated it. Thank you so much for trying it! So glad you love our slaw as much as we do. It also pairs really well our BBQ jackfruit sliders 😉
