Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, soft but not mushy
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Assembly Ingredients

  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Water or flour paste, for sealing wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (enough for deep frying)

Chipotle Ranch Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 2–3 chipotle peppers in adobo, finely chopped (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Mash the ripe avocados in a bowl and mix in shredded cheddar cheese, fresh lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth but still slightly chunky to create a creamy, flavorful base.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat. Spoon about two tablespoons of the avocado mixture near one corner. Fold the edges inward and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Seal the edges with a dab of water or flour paste to ensure they stay closed during frying.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) to achieve a temperature that crisps the egg rolls quickly while minimizing oil absorption.
  4. Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Make the Chipotle Ranch: Whisk together mayonnaise or Greek yogurt with finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust chipotle quantity for desired spiciness.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the warm egg rolls and serve immediately with chipotle ranch sauce for dipping, enjoying the creamy, crunchy, and spicy combination.

Notes

  • Use firm, ripe avocados to avoid watery filling during frying.
  • Seal wrappers thoroughly with water or flour paste to prevent openings.
  • Maintain oil temperature around 350°F to ensure crispiness without greasiness.
  • Avoid overfilling egg rolls to prevent breakage or poor sealing.
  • Prepare chipotle ranch sauce ahead of time to allow flavors to meld.
