Avocado Tempura Tacos

Happy Cinco De Mayo!!! Of course, I am celebrating with these tacos.  I added the avocado tempura onto a bed of green and purple cabbage with carrots in the corn tortillas.  To make the green sauce on top, blend half a jalapeno, a handful of cilantro, lime juice, salt, and plain greek yogurt (or plant based).  And then drizzle on top of the tacos!  I enjoy lots of sauce, so I had some on the side as well 🥑🍈🌮

The avocado tempura recipe can be vegan friendly by substitute egg replacement powder for the egg, and then bread as normal.  These would also be delicious in a sushi roll…that might be tested soon.
