Ingredients
Scale
Frying Oil
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
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 hot enough for frying.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mash the 3 diced avocados to your desired consistency. Then add the diced red onion, Roma tomato, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, lime juice, and salt and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean workspace with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon a portion of the avocado filling into the center of the wrapper.
- Seal the Wrappers: Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger. Fold the bottom corner over the filling and roll tightly. Then fold in the two side corners and continue rolling until sealed. Repeat for all wrappers and filling.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully add the assembled egg rolls into the hot vegetable oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain and Serve: Use metal tongs to remove the egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce for a crispy, creamy treat.
Notes
- Make sure the oil is hot before frying to avoid soggy egg rolls.
- Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent splitting while frying.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with canola or peanut oil for frying.
- The filling can be adjusted to include cheese or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Serve with a tangy dipping sauce like sweet chili or ranch for best results.
