Author Notes
When I came up with this recipe, I was thinking about things that are encrusted, such as Scotch eggs, potato crusted fish, etc. while eating avocado. The chicharrones seemed like a good idea because of the contrast of crunch and salt. —Liz Prueitt
Ingredients
-
1
California avocado
-
1
bag (about 6 ounces) chicharrones, crushed into very small pieces
-
1 teaspoon
chile powder
-
1/4 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
-
1/4 teaspoon
salt (optional; taste how salty the chicharrones are)
-
1
lime, cut in half
Directions
-
Halve the avocado and discard the pit. Scoop each half out of its skin with a large spoon, keeping the shape intact.
-
Mix the rest of the dry ingredients together. The chicharrones should be finely crushed, but not powder. They should be like very small bread crumbs.
-
Coat the avocado with the mixture, gently pressing it into the avocado. Completely coat and serve immediately with the fresh lime squeezed over just before eating.
