Ingredients:
- 2 large ripe avocados

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

- Dredge each avocado wedge in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere.
- Arrange the breaded avocado fries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the avocado fries are golden brown and crispy.
- While the fries are baking, prepare the chipotle lime dip by combining all the dip ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well and adjust seasoning if needed.
