Avocado Fries Tacos with Chili-Avocado-Lime Dressing

Mexican food is one of our favorites, and we never miss a chance to make it at home with different ingredients. To fulfill our love and craving for Mexican food, we love to cook various dishes at home on Fridays; Rather eating out every weekend. And homemade is the best as always !!!.No doubt….. So, every week when I go for grocery shopping Avocados will always be on top of my must buy list.

Last weekend I made some crunchy tacos for this I used black beans and some veggies for stuffing, Avocado fries and homemade spicy healthy avocado dressing. And for make them extra crunchy I toasted the tacos on nonstick pan with little bit of butter to grease them. And surprisingly, the result was amazing; which I didn’t expect. But it gave me the confidence to play with the various ingredients to make the dish healthier and tastier.
