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!
