  • 2 Large Yellow Onions
  • 8 oz. Monterey Jack Cheese Cubed
  • 1-1/2 Cups Flour
  • 1 tsp. Cumin
  • 1 tsp. Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. Cayenne
  • Salt

  • 3 Eggs Beaten
  • 1 Cup Panko

DIPPING SAUCE

  • 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  • 1/4 Cup Cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp. Lime Juice
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl , add the avocados and mash into a chunky paste. Add the red onion, jalapeño, lime juice and cilantro; stir until everything is combined. Set aside.
  • Cut the yellow onions into 1-inch slices, pull out 15 to 20 rings and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Fill the inside of each onion ring using about 3 tablespoons of guacamole. Insert a cube of cheese into each ring and freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until solid.
  • In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the flour, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper. Add the eggs to another shallow dish and then the breadcrumbs and crushed tortilla chips into a third dish. One by one, dip each frozen onion ring into the flour, then eggs and finally breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large heavy-bottomed sauce pot and fry the onion rings in batches until golden brown, crispy and warmed throughout. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with an extra pinch of salt.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl, cover, and refrigerate until needed.
