Ingredients
For the Egg Rolls:
2 large ripe avocados, diced
½ small red onion, finely diced
1 small Roma tomato, finely diced
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp lime juice (about ½ lime)
Salt and pepper, to taste
10–12 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Oil, for frying (vegetable or canola)
Optional Add-Ins:
¼ cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese (for extra richness)
1 jalapeño, finely diced (for heat)
For the Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce:
½ cup sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp lime juice
½ tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate until serving.
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
In a medium bowl, gently combine avocado, onion, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Be careful not to mash the avocado too much — you want small chunks for texture.
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you (like a diamond).
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling into the center.
Brush the edges lightly with the beaten egg.
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly toward the top corner.
Repeat until all are filled.
Fry the Rolls:
Heat about 1½ inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Fry egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
(💡 Tip: You can also brush with oil and air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 7–9 minutes, flipping halfway, for a lighter version.)
Serve:
Slice each egg roll diagonally for presentation.
Serve warm with the sweet chili dipping sauce.
Notes
For an extra-crispy texture, brush the egg rolls lightly with oil before baking or frying. Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds or chopped cilantro for a colorful, flavorful appetizer that’s perfect for parties or a fun snack!
