Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Avocados
1 large Fresh Jalapeno chile; cut in thin strips
½ cup Coarsely grated mixed cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses
Vegetable oil for deepfrying
1 cup All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
½ teaspoon Salt

Directions

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.
