Fried Avocado Tacos

No, these are not your not your normal tacos. Imagine a yummy avocado nestled in a bed of spinach with sauteed corn and fresh tortilla chips. Okay, I know what you're thinking "but isn't that kind of a fatty with the avocado". However, I would remind you that healthy fat is good for you. Also, using healthy oils for this recipe is the key. I wanted to use organic coconut oil but I only had olive oil handy. This meal took a while due to the two parts of the recipe: making homemade tortilla chips and then creating the 'fried avocado tacos'

Ingredients:

• 1/2 avocado 
• 1/2 cup of frozen corn 
• 1/3 cup of pancake mix 
• 1/2 cup of water 
• 1-2 handfuls of spinach leaves 
• 8 corn tortillas
• 1 tblspoon of olive oil 
• garlic powder and sea salt (to taste) 

Directions: 

1. Microwave two corn tortillas for 30 seconds in the microwave. Set aside. 
2. Wash spinach leaves and add on the corn tortillas. 
3. Cut half of an avocado and dip in a water/pancake mix. 
4. Fry the avocado in olive oil until cooked. Make sure to flip on both sides for even cooking. 
5. Place fried avocado in the middle of the corn tortilla on top of the spinach leaves. 
6. Saute the frozen corn in EVOO adding some garlic powder and sea salt. Once finished, transfer to the  arranged tacos. 
7. Eat tacos when finished. You do not need any sour cream or other condiments. I ate mines bare. It was delish. 

The homemade tortilla recipe will be posted later this month.
