CALIFORNIA RAISIN CHIPOTLE SAUCE
2

Place California Raisins in a saucepan and add enough water to cover the raisins. Simmer until the raisins are plump. Strain and reserve the water.

3

Add California Raisins, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lemon juice, water, cilantro and salt into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth. Use water to adjust the desired consistency.

METHOD AND ASSEMBLY
4

Pre-heat oven to 230°C.

5

Cut avocado lengthwise in half and remove pit. Cut each half into 4 equal pieces, then gently remove the skin.

6

Using the standard breading procedure, dredge each avocado slice in flour, egg wash and a coating of panko.

7

Place them on the prepared sheet pan and lightly spray with cooking oil. Bake for 5 minutes and turn the avocado slices the other side up. Continue baking for an additional 5 minutes or until lightly browned.

8

To assemble, spoon the California Raisin Chipotle Sauce over a warm tortilla, top with 2 pieces of avocado and a generous serving of California Raisin Pineapple Salsa. Serve immediately.

TIPS
9

Use a disposable hand glove to handle and cut the jalaperio pepper.

10

Prepare the California Raisin Chipotle Sauce ahead of time. This sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to seven days in an air-tight container.

11

Use avocados that are ripe but firm to the touch so that the skin can come off easily and the slices remain undamaged. Avoid using over-ripe fruits.

12

Warm flour tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds and keep them warmly wrapped in a kitchen towel until ready to assemble the tacos.

VARIATIONS
13

Flour tortillas can be substituted with corn tortillas.

14

Try serving with Spanish rice and refried beans.
