Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and pepper
2 large egg whites
1 1/4 cups panko
2 Tbsp. olive oil, plus more for misting or brushing
2 avocados, peeled and halved
1 lime
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 small red cabbage, thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeño, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
Flour tortillas, warmed
Lime wedges and sour cream, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1 In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Lightly beat the egg whites in a second small bowl. In a third small bowl, combine the panko with the oil.
2. Step 2Cut avocados into ½-inch-thick slices. Working with one slice at a time, coat avocado slices lightly in flour, then in the egg, letting any excess drip off and finally in the panko, pressing gently to help it adhere.
3. Step 3 Spray or brush the air fryer basket with oil. Spray or brush the avocados. In batches, place the avocado slices in the basket in a single layer and air-fry at 400°F until golden brown, 6 minutes.
4. Step 4Meanwhile, finely grate the lime zest into a large bowl, then squeeze in 2 tablespoon juice. Whisk in the mayonnaise and a pinch of salt. Add the cabbage, scallions and jalapeño and toss to coat; fold in the cilantro.
5. Step 5 Serve the avocados and slaw in tortillas with lime wedges and sour cream if desired.
