Best Avocado And Cilantro Salsa Recipes

COCONUT SHRIMP TACOS WITH MANGO SALSA AND AVOCADO CILANTRO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a wire rack on top of a large baking sheet, coat with cooking spray, and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut and paprika and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water.
• Make an assembly line with the shrimp, egg wash, coconut mixture, and prepared baking sheet. Dip the shrimp in the egg wash, then dredge in the coconut, lightly shaking off any excess, then place the coated shrimp on the baking rack. Repeat with the remaining shrimp, spacing them out evenly on the baking rack so they will get crispy instead of steaming.
• Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through and the coconut has started to brown.
• While the shrimp are cooking, make the salsa and sauce. In a medium bowl, toss together the salsa ingredients and set aside.
• In a food processor or high-powered blender, add the sauce ingredients and ⅓ cup water. Pulse until smooth, adjusting the seasonings to your taste. If desired, spoon the sauce into a small zip-top bag and cut the tip off of one of the bottom corners (like you would to make a piping bag for icing), just enough to make a small hole. This will make it easier to drizzle your sauce more evenly, but you could also just use a spoon.
• To assemble the tacos, place 3 to 4 shrimp on a tortilla or lettuce cup, top with shredded cabbage, a spoonful of salsa, and an avocado slice. Pipe or drizzle the sauce over the top.

MANDARIN ORANGE, CILANTRO, AND AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Mix avocados, red onion, mandarin oranges, cilantro, and lime juice together in a bowl. Stir enough reserved mandarin orange juice to coat the avocado mixture.

AVOCADO, SALSA, AND CILANTRO OMELET

Steps:

• Using a fork (for good control), beat eggs with 1 teaspoon water until yolks and whites are completely combined and no streaks remain. The water helps incorporate them and steams while the omelet cooks, which puffs it up. Season with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt and a few cracks of pepper.
• Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until foaming; swirl to coat. When foam subsides, pour eggs into center of skillet. Let stand 10 seconds. Stir eggs with a rubber spatula in a circular motion with one hand while shaking skillet with the other, about 15 seconds. Reduce heat to medium. Working your way around skillet, gather outer set eggs toward center, then tip skillet so runny eggs move to outside edges, about 1 minute. Lightly spread any remaining runny eggs evenly over top and cook until creamy but no longer wet.
• Lightly press 6 thin slices of avocado into far side of omelet (this prevents them from sliding around), and add 1 tablespoon each chunky red salsa and chopped fresh cilantro leaves before folding. Remove from heat. Tip pan away from you; gently slide spatula under near side of omelet and fold up and over avocado, cilantro and salsa. Slide onto a warm plate. Top with additional chopped cilantro leaves, if desired, and serve.

AVOCADO AND CILANTRO SALSA

Steps:

• Peel avocadoes and tomatoes and dice into small chunks.

BAJA FISH TACOS WITH FRESH AVOCADO CREAM AND CILANTRO SALSA

Steps:

• For the Avocado Cream: Place all ingredients into a food processor and give it a whirl until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Good for one week refrigerated.
• For the Salsa: Place half of canned tomatoes into food processor. Add half of the jalapeno, seeds and all. Add the rest of the salsa ingredients. Whirl until smooth. Taste. If you'd like more heat, add the rest of the jalapeno pepper and process until smooth. Pour into mixing bowl and add the rest of the canned tomatoes. Mix and taste. Season with more salt if necessary. Refrigerate up to two weeks.
• For the Rub: Mix all rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Brush fish fillets with oil. Coat both sides of fish generously with the rub. Heat a non stick pan over medium-high heat with oil. Cook fish in the hot pan, do not crowd, for 4 minutes per side.
• Remove from heat onto a platter, flake with a fork. Squeeze fresh lime juice over fish. Cover with foil to keep warm.
• Wipe out fish pan and warm tortillas one minute per side in the pan and place into a bowl lined with a clean napkin or kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Layer over warm tortilla; lettuce, tomato, cheese, fish, avocado cream, and salsa.
