Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (for garnish)

1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)

Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, or salsa

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Avocados: Slice the ripe avocados in half and carefully remove the pit. Using a spoon, scoop out the avocado flesh, and cut each half into wedges, creating about 6 to 8 wedges from each avocado half.

      Set Up Breading Station: Arrange three shallow bowls in a line. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, crack and whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to evenly distribute the seasonings.

        Bread the Avocado Wedges: Take one avocado wedge and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Finally, press and coat the wedge in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, ensuring a thorough coverage by gently pressing the crumbs onto the surface.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded avocado pieces onto the lined baking sheet in a single layer, leaving some space between each piece. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tops of the avocado bites, which will help them achieve a golden, crispy texture as they bake.

            Bake: Bake the avocado bites in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. To ensure they cook evenly and become crispy on all sides, flip the wedges halfway through the baking time. Look for a golden brown color on the edges as a sign they're ready.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the taco bites are perfectly baked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle the top with fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately alongside lime wedges and your choice of optional toppings, such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, or salsa, for added freshness and flavor.
