Avocado And Beef Torta Food

AVOCADO SMASH

Steps:

• Cut the avocados in half and discard the pits. Using the tip of a paring knife, score the avocado flesh into medium squares. Use a large spoon to scoop out the cubes into a bowl.
• Add the lemon juice and salt. Mix, smashing gently with a fork or spoon. The dip should be chunky and well combined.

AVOCADO DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat and prepare a large bowl of ice water. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water with a slotted spoon and cook for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs with the slotted spoon and transfer to the ice water to cool completely, about 5 minutes.
• Peel the eggs, halve each lengthwise and remove the yolks from the whites. Place the yolks in a food processor and set the whites aside on a plate. Add the avocado, lime juice, sour cream, chopped cilantro and 1 teaspoon kosher salt to the yolks and process until the mixture is smooth and light.
• Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the cavities of the whites then sprinkle each egg lightly with cayenne and some flaky sea salt. Top with a cilantro leaf and serve the eggs immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours.

AVOCADO TOASTS

Steps:

• Mash the avocado with a fork in a shallow bowl until chunky. Season with fine salt and black pepper.
• Toast the bread until browned and crisp. Lightly rub 1 side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic until fragrant; discard the garlic. Lightly brush the toasts with oil, and season with fine salt and pepper. Divide the mashed avocado evenly among the toasts, and top with more flaky sea salt, more black pepper and red pepper flakes if using.

THE NEW AVOCADO TOAST

Steps:

• Process the bread in a food processor until you have very fine crumbs (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
• Heat the garlic and 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high until very fragrant and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard the garlic. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, tossing frequently, until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to paper-towel lined plate and season with salt.
• Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat on high. Fry the eggs on high until the outer edges are browned and lacy but the yolks are still slightly uncooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit in the skillet until the yolks are set, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Liberally brush all sides of the cut avocado halves with lemon juice and generously season with salt. Working with 1 half at a time, dredge the avocados in the breadcrumbs, turning to coat and patting the crumbs lightly into the flesh and the pit cavity. Reserve the remaining breadcrumbs.
• To serve, place 1 avocado half cut-side up on a small plate. Sprinkle with a few more breadcrumbs and top with a fried egg, some scallions, radishes and a drizzle of hot sauce.
