Ingredients

1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
3 diced avocados
¼ cup diced red onion
1 diced Roma tomato
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
8 egg roll wrappers

Instructions

Step 1: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot and ready for frying.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, mash the diced avocados to your desired consistency. Stir in the diced red onion, diced Roma tomato, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spoon a generous amount of the avocado mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Step 4: Using your finger, wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up and roll it tightly over the filling.
Step 5: Fold in the two sides of the wrapper, then continue rolling upward until fully sealed. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 6: Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes. Use metal tongs to turn them evenly.
Step 7: Remove the fried egg rolls and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips & Variations

For a baked version, brush the egg rolls with oil and bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through for even crispiness.
Add diced jalapeños to the filling for a spicy kick.
Try serving with a tangy salsa or creamy ranch dip to complement the flavors.
Keep the avocado mixture chilled until ready to use to maintain freshness.

Storage

Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to retain crispiness—avoid microwaving as it can make the wrapper soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

Ingredients

Scale

Frying Oil

1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Avocado Filling

3 diced avocados
¼ cup diced red onion
1 diced Roma tomato
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
juice of 1 lime
salt and pepper to taste

Wrapper

8 egg roll wrappers

Instructions

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 cup of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot enough for frying.
Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mash the 3 diced avocados to your desired consistency. Add the ¼ cup diced red onion, 1 diced Roma tomato, 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon some of the avocado mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Fold the Wrapper: Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your finger. Bring the bottom corner up over the filling and roll tightly.
Seal and Roll: Fold in the left and right sides, then continue rolling the wrapper upwards. Press the edges firmly to seal. Repeat this process for all egg roll wrappers and filling.
Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully add the filled egg rolls to the hot oil in the skillet. Fry them for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve: Remove the cooked egg rolls with metal tongs and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

Ensure the avocado mixture is well-mashed but still slightly chunky for the best texture inside the egg rolls.
Be careful when frying to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature and make the egg rolls greasy.
For a healthier alternative, consider baking or air frying the egg rolls, but frying will yield the crispiest texture.
Use fresh lime juice to add bright acidity that balances the richness of the avocado.
Serve with a dipping sauce like sweet chili, soy sauce, or a creamy cilantro-lime dressing for extra flavor.
