A riff on the popular restaurant appetizer, these Avocado Egg Rolls are easy to make at home and just as good!

I am not normally a big tv watcher. I have a couple shows that I like to watch, but really, especially when it comes down to nighttime dramas, I have been pretty out of the loop lately.

Then I had a baby. And I found myself sitting on the couch, holding that baby, watching way more tv than I have for the past couple of years. When I realized that I have seen pretty much every episode of Chopped, Love it or List It, and Property Brothers, I decided it was time to find something a little more exciting to watch. (Plus, I have found that I need entertaining tv to keep me awake during that 3am feeding, because nothing else is working!!)

I started with Parenthood. When I had watched every episode, I moved onto Downton Abbey. Last week, I finally caught up on that one, and found myself looking for a new series to turn to. And there it was on Netflix – that series that I have heard so much about over Twitter and Facebook – Friday Night Lights.

I have said it before – even though I do like sports, I don’t usually get all crazy about the Super Bowl. But after watching the first few episodes of Friday Night Lights, I’m totally feeling the football vibe. Heck, I may even watch some of it this year instead of hiding out in the kitchen with the food!

That is, unless these egg rolls will be gracing that table filled with football snacks. These egg rolls alone would be worth hiding out in the kitchen over.

Now, most of us aren’t strangers to the popular restaurant version of these egg rolls. But why go sit on a waiting list for an hour when you can whip these up at home pretty effortlessly? And as much as I love their dipping sauce, I decided to go with something that has ingredients that are super easy to find. (Because I don’t know about your grocery store, but tamarind paste is nowhere to be found in mine!)

And if there is one time a year that you should break that New Year’s resolution and fry up some egg rolls, the big game should be that day. Believe me – these are worth it!!

Description

A riff on the popular restaurant appetizer, these Avocado Egg Rolls are easy to make at home and just as good!

Scale

Ingredients

Egg Rolls

  • 3 Avocados from Mexico
  • 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons finely minced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
  • 9 eggroll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 2 chipotles in adobo, seeds removed and chopped, plus 1 tablespoon of the sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Make the eggrolls: Heat several inches of oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pan until it reaches 350F – 375F.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the avocados, sundried tomatoes, red onion and cilantro; mix. Working with one eggroll wrapper at a time, lay the wrapper on a surface in front of you like a diamond. Add about 1/4 cup of the avocado mixture to the center. Fold in the two sides, then fold over the bottom. Roll until the filling is completely enclosed in the center of the roll. Wet the corner of the wrapper so that it will stick. Continue until all 9 rolls are wrapped.
  4. Drop the eggrolls into the hot oil, 2 or 3 at a time, and cook until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Cut diagonally and serve with the Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce.

    One of my 2013 New Years Resolutions is to add more avocado to my life. (I know, it sounds weird, but when you live in Ohio and get most of your produce from your local CSA farm share, you start to miss avocados.)
    This recipe looks like a delicious way to do just that.

    Thanks!

    I found your blog looking for cinnamon biscuits (awesome recipe), then made the pan snickerdoodles last week (devoured) and now I’m drooling over these egg rolls! Can’t wait to try them! So glad I found you!

    I’ve never had avocado egg rolls before so apparently I’ve been missing out! Then again, I had also never seen an episode of Downton Abbey before last week. And now I’m hooked. 😛

    It looks like you fried these to perfection Deborah! I love how crispy and flaky that shell looks. Delicious. These would be a favorite at a Super Bowl party for me. 🙂

    I think we are soul mates. Your food is almost always something that makes me wonder if we were separated at birth!

    Fried egg rolls filled with avocado. I mean, can you even get any better than that?!

    Also, yes to Downton Abbey and Parenthood. I haven’t seen Friday Night Lights, but I might give it a shot now.

    haha! I loved Friday Night Lights, Downton Abbey, and Parenthood. I don’t watch tv during most of the year, but during the dark winter months when we aren’t working (my husband and I farm) we watch these shows! These egg rolls sound fantastic!!!

    Oh yum!

    I love the invention of the DVR, a way to “tape” shows and catch up with them later. I have been known to watch several episodes right in a row. Darn things can be quite addicting.

    Um. Yeah. These look amazing. And I don’t even know what restaurant they are a copy cat of. Have fun with FNL! I got so addicted right after John was born, and I’m thinking I need to re-watch it all again.

    Oh Deb, these are gorgeous. Funny story. At my last job, a coworker came into work with boxes of “these weird leathery green fruits” that were growing like mad from a huge tree in the backyard of her new house. She had no clue what they were so just piked a bunch and brought them in. I came out of my office and and there was this bounty of the most gorgeous avocados you have ever seen. They were perfect. I gave her a quick agriculture lesson and came home with enough avs to kep me in rolls like this for a month. Lol

    I wish I had them now. Would love to make these. I guess I’ll plant a tree. 🙂

    I often have to work late into the night to get work done. I have to keep the TV on to keep me up. Right now I am watching Fringe and have Friday Night Lights on my list to watch next. Oh and I can’t forget to mention that these egg rolls look amazing!

    Ok, so I have a silly (and possibly annoying) question! Do you think you could bake these instead of frying them? These look soooo good, but I hate cleaning up after frying anything, so I just avoid it!

      @Rachel, I haven’t tried them baked, so I really don’t know. I know people who really don’t like baked egg rolls at all (made with egg roll wrappers), but I have a buffalo chicken roll recipe that is baked and I like it. So I think it’s all personal preference! If you do try, let me know what you think!

    Are these best when eaten right away? Will the avocado brown a lot if I made them for a party? I want to make these for the super bowl, but I am worried they won’t look appetizing just sitting out!
    Thanks!

      @Sam, I would serve them within a couple hours. The avocado didn’t go brown on mine, but we ate them within probably 2 or 3 hours. And I think that if you made them too far in advance and had to refrigerate them, they might get soggy.

    So I saw these and knew that they’d be the perfect way to use up the egg roll wrappers I had left in the fridge. Oh…my…GOD they were amazing! Thank you so much for the recipe. I made a homemade ranch mix to avoid buying one with junk in it from the store. Perfection! I posted it over on my site with a link back to yours. Thank you so much for this fantastic recipe!

    These were awesome. I used whole wheat tortillas because that is what I had. Green onions instead of red onions. No cilantro. yuk. The dipping sauce was soooo gooood.

    oh, I did put in some fresh lime juice since I knew we’d have leftovers and I didn’t want the avocados to go brown.
