Arranging the avocado wedges correctly in the air fryer is crucial for achieving a perfectly crispy texture. When placing the avocado slices in the air fryer basket, it's important to avoid overcrowding. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and steaming instead of the desired crispiness. Instead, arrange the avocado wedges in a single layer, ensuring that there is enough space between each piece for air circulation. This allows the hot air to circulate evenly around each wedge, ensuring that they cook thoroughly and crisp up nicely.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (Panko works well)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1 lime, cut into wedges

Optional: Sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados:

    - Carefully scoop out the flesh of each avocado half, leaving the skin intact. If possible, keep them in one piece for easier handling.

      - Slice each avocado half into thick wedges.

        Set Up Breading Station:

          - In one shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour.

            - In the second bowl, add the beaten eggs.

              - In a third bowl, combine the seasoned breadcrumbs, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

                Bread the Avocado Wedges:

                  - Dip each avocado wedge first in the flour, shaking off excess.

                    - Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.

                      - Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until well-covered. Set aside on a plate.

                        Air-Fry the Avocados:

                          - Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

                            - Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the breaded avocado wedges in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch.

                              - Air-fry for 8-10 minutes or until the avocados are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through.

                                Warm the Tortillas:

                                  - While the avocados are air-frying, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable. You can also wet them slightly and wrap in a damp paper towel to microwave for 20-30 seconds.

                                    Assemble the Tacos:

                                      - Take a warm tortilla and layer a small handful of shredded lettuce, a few crispy avocado wedges, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.

                                        - Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for added flavor.

                                          Serve:

                                            - Repeat the assembling process for all tacos. Serve immediately with additional lime wedges and a side of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
