Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup cornflakes, crushed

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup diced red onion

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Carefully scoop out the avocado flesh, leaving a thin layer attached to the skin to maintain the shape. Dice the scooped-out flesh.

      Coat the Avocado Halves: In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, place the beaten eggs, and in a third bowl, add the crushed cornflakes.

        - Dip each avocado half into the flour mixture, coating well.

          - Next, dip them into the beaten eggs before rolling them in the crushed cornflakes to ensure a good crunch.

            Bake the Avocados: Place the coated avocado halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.

              Warm the Tortillas: While the avocados are baking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

                Assemble the Tacos: Once the avocado halves are done baking, begin to assemble your tacos. Place a few pieces of shredded lettuce on each tortilla, followed by a crispy baked avocado half. Top with diced tomatoes, red onion, shredded cheese, and any additional toppings you desire.

                  Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for squeezing on top right before enjoying.
