Have you ever tried a fried avocado taco?
I hadn't until this past weekend while I was in Austin, Texas for the third annual Blathering. On Saturday, a group of girls went to Austin's Gypsy Picnic. Basically, it's a trailer food festival in the heart of Austin. We happened upon Torchy's Taco booth right as we got into the festival. Their fried avocado taco was, hands down, my favorite item I tried the entire day.
Just imagine a hand-battered avocado fried with refried beans topped with pico, lettuce and cheese. Served in a corn tortilla with a poblano sauce.
IS YOUR MOUTH WATERING YET? (Mine definitely is and I just ate lunch!)
If you are nowhere near Austin or Dallas and are craving this amazing taco, then check out Erica from Unemployed Lawyer Mom's recipe for fried avocados! I am going to try this myself as soon as I can get to the store. Must solve this continual drooling problem I'm currently having.

Welcome to my Saturday morning ritual! Next time, also try the Trailer Park taco and ask them to make it extra trashy. It's a sin taco of cheese and fried chicken and other ooey gooey goodness!
I heart Torchys!

How in the world did I miss this? I wasn't standing that far away from you.

I have been intrigued by the Avocado Fries that I have seen circling food blogs this summer. Avocado Tacos sound even better.
A friend in Albuquerque told me of a mashed potato taco with seasoned mashed potatoes and topped with cabbage, cheese, and salsa in a flour tortilla. Carb delight...and a Tex-Mex twist of pierogies?

Holy cow, there's a Torchy's in Dallas. I... had no idea. I am so excited now.
