Cyclone Anaya’s Mexican Kitchen is a popular Tex-Mex restaurant in Houston. They prepare an upscale variety of hand-made gourmet
menu items, prepared from scratch, using fresh ingredients. They call their cuisine “Fine Mex,” a blend of traditional and modern Mexican-inspired dishes. They are also very well-known for their margaritas and they make our own Agave Tequila. Chef Jason Gould shows food radio talk show host Cleverley Stone how to make Fried Crab Stuffed Avocado, one of their most popular dishes. Chef Gould also shares his recipe for their tomato salsa.

8. To serve: Place a puddle of tomato salsa (see recipe below) in the center of a dinner plate.
Place the fried avocado on top of that.
Drizzle with lime cilantro sour cream sauce. Serve with a small salad.

Negra Modelo Beer Batter

  • 16 oz Negra Modelo Beer
  • 1 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
  • ¼ tsp Baking Powder

  • ¼ cup Soda Water

Directions
1. Place flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and mix together.
