1. Prepare the Filling

Start by mashing the ripe avocados in a large mixing bowl. The avocados should be soft but still slightly chunky for texture. Once mashed, add the finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, diced red onion, and fresh cilantro. These ingredients will add flavor, color, and texture to the filling, giving the egg rolls their savory kick.

Next, season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. The spices will elevate the filling and bring out the natural flavors of the avocados and sun-dried tomatoes. Mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

2. Prepare the Egg Roll Wrappers

Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Keep the wrappers covered with a damp cloth or paper towel to prevent them from drying out as you work with them. The wrappers should be placed with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond shape), as this will make it easier to roll them.

3. Assemble the Egg Rolls

Spoon a generous tablespoon of the avocado filling onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Be careful not to overfill the wrappers, as this can make them difficult to roll and cause them to break. Once the filling is added, fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly, making sure the edges are sealed.

To help seal the wrappers, lightly wet the top corner of the egg roll wrapper with a small amount of water. This will ensure that the roll stays securely closed during frying.

4. Prepare the Dipping Sauce (Optional)

In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, salsa (or hot sauce), lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well combined. This creamy dipping sauce adds a tangy, refreshing contrast to the richness of the egg rolls. You can adjust the heat level by adding more or less salsa, depending on your taste.

5. Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough for frying, but not smoking. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of the egg roll wrapper into the oil—if it sizzles and starts to turn golden, the oil is hot enough.

6. Fry the Egg Rolls

Carefully place the prepared egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the egg rolls for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn the egg rolls, ensuring they cook evenly on all sides.

Once the egg rolls are done, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

7. Serve and Enjoy

Arrange the crispy avocado egg rolls on a serving platter and serve immediately, accompanied by the dipping sauce. The egg rolls should be warm and crispy on the outside, with a creamy, flavorful filling on the inside.
