Ingredients

  • 1 (7 ounce) can chipotle chiles in adobo (I'd reduce this considerably and taste and test while adding more or it will blow your eyes out)
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 12 cup mayonnaise
  • 14 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • vegetable oil (2 quarts or enough to have a 3-inch depth in pot)
  • 1 lime, juice of
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 avocado
  • kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • lime wedge

Method

  • Place chipotles with adobo sauce and lime juice in a blender and puree until smooth; set aside.
  • Place mayonnaise in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk in 1/3 of chipotle mixture at a time, tasting between each addition for spiciness (you may not want to use all of chipotle puree).
  • Add cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over high heat until instant read thermometer reaches 350 degrees.
  • While oil is heating up, place all-purpose flour, lime juice mixed with 2 cups water and panko breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow dishes.
  • Cut avocado in quarters lengthwise.
  • Remove wedges from pit and peel off skin.
  • Cut each quarter in half so you have 8 wedges total.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge avocado wedges in flour, then dip into lime water, then dredge through breadcrumbs.
  • Make sure each slice is completely coated.
  • Once oil has reached 350 degrees, fry breaded slices for about 3 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Remove avocados from oil using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve with lime wedges and chipotle remoulade.
