Equipment

  • Air fryer (5-quart or larger capacity)
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Small mixing bowl - for egg wash
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Fork - for mashing avocados
  • Pastry brush - for egg wash
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Kitchen towel or damp paper towels - to cover wrappers
  • Spoon - for filling
  • Small bowl of water - for sealing wrappers
  • Plate or baking sheet - for assembled egg rolls
  • Tongs - for flipping egg rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large avocados - ripe, about 1½ cups mashed
  • 0.5 cup red onion - finely diced
  • 0.5 cup Roma tomatoes - seeded and diced, about 2 small tomatoes
  • 1 jalapeño pepper - seeded and minced, adjust to taste
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro - finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice - about 1 large lime
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Cooking spray or oil mister - with avocado oil
  • 1 egg - beaten, for sealing wrappers

For the Dipping Sauce

  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro - minced
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt - to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth with some small chunks remaining.
  • Add red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold until well combined. Set aside.
  • Clear a workspace. Cover egg roll wrappers with a slightly damp towel to prevent drying. Beat egg in a small bowl. Fill another bowl with water. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place one wrapper in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the center, slightly below the middle.
  • Fold bottom corner over filling and tuck it snugly. Fold left and right corners toward center. Brush top corner with beaten egg. Roll tightly away from you and press to seal. Place seam-side down.
  • Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Keep finished egg rolls covered with a damp towel.
  • Lightly spray or brush each egg roll with oil on all sides. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each.
  • Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes. At the 6-minute mark, carefully flip each egg roll and spray lightly if dry. Continue cooking until golden brown and crispy.
  • While egg rolls cook, combine sour cream, lime juice, minced cilantro, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl. Mix until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Let cooked egg rolls cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with dipping sauce and garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't mushy — overripe ones will make the filling too watery.
  • Don't overfill the wrappers (stick to 2 tablespoons maximum) or they may burst open during cooking.
  • Keep egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel at all times when not in use, as they dry out quickly and become brittle.
  • Light oil spray is essential for achieving that golden, crispy texture — don't skip it even when using an air fryer.
  • Work in batches if needed; overcrowding the basket prevents proper air circulation and results in soggy spots.
  • To make gluten-free, use gluten-free egg roll wrappers made from rice flour.
  • For a vegan version, replace the egg wash with aquafaba or non-dairy milk, and use vegan egg roll wrappers.
  • Leftover cooked egg rolls can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 4-5 minutes.
  • Assembled uncooked egg rolls can be frozen for up to 3 months; cook from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 14-16 minutes.
  • The dipping sauce can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
