- 10 egg roll wrappers (Note 1)
- 3 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1 roma tomato, diced

- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS
- Make Filling: Mash avocados to chunky consistency and stir with tomato, salt, and black pepper in mixing bowl until combined.
- Wrap Egg Rolls: Lay out egg roll wrappers with corners facing you, and set out small bowl of water. Distribute avocado filling onto bottom half of each wrapper. Working with one wrapper at a time, use finger to brush water along all edges to moisten, fold up closest corner over filling, then fold over sides, then roll up. Dab last fold with more water to seal. Repeat for all other wrappers.

Did not turn out well when cooked in air fryer (as recommended in previous comments). I cooked it on 350 for 6 minutes, then flipped and cooked for another 6.
The egg roll wrapper had a bitter floury taste
can you bake them instead of frying them?
I don’t recommend it, as it won’t taste anywhere near as good as the fried version.
I’ve made this recipe several times. I use Rotel tomatoes(drained) , cilantro, onion and avocado. It’s delicious š
I would switch the fresh romas to sun dried tomatoes..
These look so good. I have a weird science question; how do the avocados not turn brown inside the egg rolls? Im afraid that will happen when I cook them.
Avocados turn brown because their enzymes are exposed to oxygen. Since cooking deactivates enzymes, this shouldn’t be a problem.
I absolutely love these!
Since deep fried foods bother my stomach , I baked them and they turned out good.
Glad to hear they were as good baked! I, too, prefer baked over fried.Thanks for sharing an incredible recipe!
What oven temp and for how long? Thank you!
Egg rolls have egg in them so how is this vegan? Are there any other options?
Everything in this recipe is vegan. Even walmart carries vegan eggroll wrappers.
What about an air fryer?!! Anyone tried that ?
would love to know this as well…
I would to know!
Yes! It works in the air fryer, and they are amazing. Iām not a fan of greasy food, so the air fryer was my preferred way of cooking these. I cooked them at 350 degrees for about 6-7 minutes. Delicious!
Can I prep these early and refrigerate? Then fry when I’m ready like your wontons? I’m not sure what the wraps will allow

You totally can pre-wrap your egg rolls and freeze them. Wrap all of them, place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment in the freezer, when fairly solid just transfer to a freezer safe zip-top bag or vacuum seal them for longer last.
*note: I would recommend also tossing your avocado slices in some sort of preservative like ascorbic acid (vitamin C powder) or maybe even some lime juice, to prevent browning. Although the freezer may halt the oxidation process, I wouldn’t totally count on that alone. Just make sure the avocado isn’t drenched in the juice and you should be good to roll.
Hope this helps!
Can I pan fry these instead of deep fry?
No, you will need to deep fry these.
Can you fry these ahead of time and then reheat in the oven
Yes, you can do that. They’ll lose some of their crispness but will still taste great.
I love this!!Its so simple and seems perfect, I have to try this recipe out this holiday !
Any special kind of avocado? How ripe should it be? Can these be re-heated?
Thank You
No special kind of avocado; I use medium sized or Haas avocados. It should be ripe — if you push your finger against the avocado, you should feel it give a bit. These egg rolls can’t be reheated later so I recommend eating them all at once. It shouldn’t be hard š
