Ingredients
The Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning
- 2 chipotles in adobo + 1 tbsp adobo sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
The Avocado Egg Rolls
- 9 egg roll wrappers
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
- 3 tablespoons red onion, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
- Oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce: Whisk mayo, sour cream, ranch seasoning, garlic, chipotles, adobo sauce, and cilantro. Refrigerate.
Mix the Filling: Gently combine avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro, keeping the avocado slightly chunky.
Heat the Oil: Fill a heavy-bottomed pan with oil and heat to 350°F–375°F.
Roll the Egg Rolls: Place 1/3 cup filling in a diamond-positioned wrapper. Fold side corners in, bottom corner over, and roll tightly, sealing with water.
Fry: Fry 2–3 rolls at a time for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve.
Notes
Oil Temperature: Use a thermometer! Oil below 350°F causes soggy, greasy wrappers, while too-high heat burns the outside.
The ‘Squeeze’ Test: Ensure sun-dried tomatoes are fully drained; excess moisture can cause the wrapper to burst during frying.
Wrapper Care: Keep wrappers under a damp towel during assembly to prevent cracking.
Texture Control: Keep avocado slightly chunky for a more sophisticated mouthfeel.
