Notes & Wine Advice
Recipe Notes
Choose a firm-ripe avocado so the fries keep their shape while cooking. Serve immediately after air frying to enjoy the crispiest texture. Adjust the amount of gochujang to make the spicy mayonnaise milder or hotter. These wraps are also delicious topped with sliced jalapeños or extra fresh coriander.Wine Advice
A refreshing Sauvignon Blanc balances the creamy avocado and spicy mayonnaise beautifully. If you prefer something fruitier, a chilled Rosé is a fresh pairing with the salsa and crisp lettuce.Nutrition values
