If you’ve been to Austin or checked out my Austin Restaurant Guide, you’d know that Torchy’s Tacos is on there and it’s one of my favorite places here in Austin. There are so many tacos there that I love and the queso is so delicious! One of my favorite vegetarian options that they have is the Fried Avocado Taco. So what better way to have it all the time then recreating these tacos at home!?

You guys know how much I love my air fryer. I use this one. And I seriously keep it out on my counter all the time because I use it all the time! Using the air fryer in this recipe is key to getting the avocado perfectly crispy.

These are super easy and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. And it would be great alongside a margarita 😉

FAQs

How long will these last?

It’s best to enjoy your tacos upon making them! The air fried avocado tastes the most fresh when it’s warm.

Do I have to make these into tacos?

No! There are so many ways to switch this up. You can air fry the avocado and put it on salad, tostadas or use it as a topping for a bowl.

How do I pick the right avocado?

You want to make sure the avocado you’re using here isn’t mushy. It’s best to find one that is hard but slightly soft on the outside. That way the avocado pieces will stay together when you coat them.
