By Tricia33

Ingredients

• 1 lg Fresh Jalapeno chile
• 1/2 c mixed ?; Coarsely grated
• 2 Eggs; slightly beaten
• Margarita Jalapeno Salsa
• 1 ts Baking Powder
• 1 c All-purpose flour
• Vegetable oil; for deepfrying
• 1/2 ts Salt
• 3/4 c Cornmeal
• 2 Avocados
• 1 c milk
• I added red Chile flakes to batter

Preparation

Step 1

Halve, pit & carefully peel avocados. Place strips of jalapeno in each cavity, then pack cavaties with cheeses. In a deep, heavy saucepan, heat 2-3 inches of oil to 375. Then in a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and cornmeal. Beat in milk and eggs until blended. Dip each filled avacado half into batter to coat completely; fry in hot oil until golden brown. Serve hot, with a side dish of salsa. Makes 4 servings.
**Note - I'm going to add shrimp or crab next time!
