Baja Avocado Tacos With Chipotle Crema Pickled Slaw Recipes

BAJA AVOCADO TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE CREMA & PICKLED SLAW

Steps:

• First, make the batter. Mix the flour, garlic, lime zest, white pepper, cumin and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the beer until you have a smooth batter, then set aside until needed.
• For the slaw, combine the radishes, cabbage, red onion and coriander in a bowl. Whisk the vinegar, sugar or honey and a pinch of salt in another bowl. Pour over the veg, toss thoroughly and set aside.
• To make the crema, put all the ingredients in a blender or mini chopper and blitz until smooth.
• Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan with high sides. Drop in some batter after a few mins - if it sizzles and turns golden brown quickly, the oil is ready. Dip the avocado slices in the batter, shake off the excess and fry, one or two at a time for 30 secs or until lightly golden and crispy. Remove from the oil, drain on kitchen paper and season with salt.
• Warm the tortillas on both sides for 1-2 mins in a griddle or non-stick frying pan, then divide the slaw between them. Top with the avocado, drizzle over the crema and garnish with coriander leaves.

STEAK TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE SLAW & AVOCADO SALSA (DAVID VENABLE) RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• To prepare the steak, first make a marinade with the garlic, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, jalapeño, and chili powder. Combine the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely minced. Place the flank steak in a large zip-top plastic bag, pour in the marinade, and squeeze out any excess air before sealing. Allow the steak to marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours; do not exceed 8 hours. To prepare the slaw, combine the sour cream, milk, chipotle pepper, and vinegar in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Add the cabbage and stir until it's completely coated with dressing. To prepare the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl; toss until combined. (If kept refrigerated, this can be made up to 2 hours prior to serving.) To make the tacos, preheat the grill and set the temperature to medium-high. Grill the steak for 8 minutes on each side, or until your desired degree of doneness. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting, diagonally across the grain, into thin slices. Place 4-5 slices of steak in a taco shell, top with approximately a quarter cup of salsa and the same amount of slaw. Fold up the shell and enjoy!
