Cup of Yum
Egg Roll
- In a bowl, stir the avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, and salt. Add ⅓ of the mixture onto the center of each egg roll wrapper.
- Position the wrapper so the corner is pointing towards you. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold the remaining corners up over the filling and brush the corners with egg to secure them in place. Roll up from the bottom folding the top corner over all. Seal with egg and repeat for remaining wrappers.
- Pour vegetable oil in a skillet and heat. Fry egg rolls for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve with dipping sauce.
Notes
- Bake. Bake them at 425°F for around 20 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Air fry. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Spray the outside of the egg rolls with olive oil before putting them in the air fryer. Cook for 7-8 minutes, flipping them halfway.
- Prep ahead. Prepare the filling the day before and store it in the fridge. You can also assemble the egg rolls as instructed, but do not fry. Instead, tightly wrap each roll with plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw in the fridge overnight before frying.
- Store leftovers. Store leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
