Ingredients

3 medium ripe avocados

2 tablespoons lime juice

⅓ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil and drained)

¼ cup minced red onion

¼ cup chopped cilantro

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon cracked pepper

8-10 egg roll wrappers

Oil spray

¼ cup sour cream

¼ cup mayonnaise

½ lime (juice of)

1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce

1 clove garlic

2 teaspoons dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried chives

½ teaspoon salt (more to taste)

Milk (as needed to reach desired consistency)

Instructions

Step 1: Dice the avocados and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the lime juice, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced red onion, chopped cilantro, salt, and cracked pepper.

Step 2: Stir the mixture well, mashing the avocado slightly while keeping the mixture chunky.

Step 3: Spoon about ¼ cup of the avocado mixture onto the center of an egg roll wrapper. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper up to cover the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. To seal, dip your finger in water and brush it on the top corner of the wrapper before finishing the roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 4: Lightly spray each egg roll on all sides with oil spray.

Step 5: Arrange the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Depending on your air fryer size, cook in batches if needed.

Step 6: Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.

Step 7: While the egg rolls cook, prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together sour cream, mayonnaise, and lime juice in a small bowl.

Step 8: Mince the chipotle pepper and garlic finely, then stir them into the sour cream mixture.

Step 9: Add dried parsley, dill, onion powder, dried chives, and salt. Adjust seasoning with more salt, lime juice, or minced chipotle to taste. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a thinner dip.

Step 10: Serve the hot, crispy avocado egg rolls with the chipotle dipping sauce.

Tips & Variations

Use ripe but firm avocados to keep the filling creamy without becoming too mushy.

For extra crunch, add finely chopped water chestnuts or jicama to the avocado mixture.

If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway.

Adjust the spice in the dipping sauce by adding more or less chipotle peppers to suit your heat preference.

FAQs

Can I freeze the avocado egg rolls before cooking?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled egg rolls before cooking. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Cook from frozen in the air fryer, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.

What can I substitute for sun-dried tomatoes?

If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped roasted red peppers or a small amount of diced fresh tomatoes can be used, but the flavor will be milder and less concentrated.
