  • Coat the entire surface of the avocados with the bread crumbs, top to bottom.
  • Air fry the avocados until golden brown or deep fry them in vegetable oil in a heavy bottomed pan and a couple inches of oil. See notes for additional deep frying instructions.
  • Prepare the pico de gallo salsa by dicing the tomatoes, chopping the white onion, cilantro and jalapeño.  Juice a lime over the salsa, salt to taste and mix to combine.
  • When the fried avocados are golden brown remove them, place on a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.
  • Scoop the pico de Gallo into the center of the avocado, where the pit once was, and allow the salsa to overflow generously onto the top of the avocado. 
  • Finish with maldon salt and a squeeze of lime just before eating.
