Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe avocados, mashed
  • About 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • About 2 cups vegetable or canola oil for frying
  • A few tablespoons water (for sealing egg rolls)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocado filling: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocados until mostly smooth but still a little chunky. Stir in the diced red bell pepper, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors evenly.
  2. Set up your workstation: Lay your egg roll wrappers flat on a clean surface. Have a small bowl of water nearby to help seal the edges of your rolls. Heat about 2 inches of oil in your skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) or when a small piece of wrapper sizzles on contact.
  3. Fill and roll the egg rolls: Place about 2 tablespoons of the avocado filling near the bottom corner of an egg roll wrapper. Fold the corner over the filling, tuck in the sides snugly, then roll tightly toward the opposite corner. Moisten the final edge with water and press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil, turning occasionally with tongs to brown evenly on all sides. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per batch. Don’t overcrowd the pan to keep oil temperature steady.
  5. Drain and cool: Remove egg rolls with tongs and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

If the filling feels too loose, chill it for 10 minutes before rolling to make handling easier. Maintain oil temperature between 325°F and 375°F to avoid greasy or burnt egg rolls. Work in batches and drain on paper towels for best crispness. Egg rolls can be baked at 400°F for 15-20 minutes as a lighter alternative.
