Introduction

These Air Fryer Avocado Egg Rolls are a crispy, flavorful snack or appetizer that combines creamy avocado with zesty sun-dried tomatoes and fresh herbs. Using an air fryer makes them perfectly golden and crunchy without the extra oil of traditional frying. Pair them with a smoky chipotle dipping sauce for a delicious treat everyone will love.

The image shows a close-up of two halves of a crispy golden-brown wrap with a bubbly texture on the outside, stacked on top of each other. The inside of the wrap is filled with three main layers: a base of soft guacamole with a creamy, chunky green texture; a middle layer of small red and purple bits, likely diced tomatoes and onions; and small specks of light green from herbs mixed throughout. Around the wrap are fresh, green cilantro leaves and a wedge of juicy lime, all placed on a white marbled surface. The background is softly blurred, highlighting the wrap fillings clearly.

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, red onion, cilantro, salt, and cracked pepper. Stir gently, mashing the avocado slightly while leaving some chunks for texture.

Step 2: Spoon about ¼ cup of the avocado mixture onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in both sides and roll tightly. Dip your finger in water and moisten the top corner of the wrapper before sealing to ensure the egg roll stays closed. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

Step 3: Lightly spray each egg roll with oil spray on all sides. Place them in a single layer inside the air fryer basket with space between each for air circulation. Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp.

Step 4: While the egg rolls cook, prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together sour cream, mayonnaise, and lime juice in a small bowl.

Step 5: Finely mince the chipotle pepper and garlic, then stir them into the sauce along with dried parsley, dill, onion powder, dried chives, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and add a splash of milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Step 6: Serve the hot egg rolls with the chipotle dipping sauce and enjoy immediately.

Tips & Variations

If you prefer, try adding cooked black beans or corn to the avocado mixture for extra texture and flavor.

Use gluten-free egg roll wrappers if needed to accommodate dietary preferences.

For a spicier dip, increase the amount of chipotle pepper or add a dash of hot sauce.

To make these ahead, assemble the egg rolls and freeze them on a tray before cooking. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the air frying time.

FAQs

Can I bake these instead of using an air fryer?

Yes, you can bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

What can I use if I don’t have chipotle peppers in adobo sauce?

You can substitute with a small amount of smoked paprika and a splash of hot sauce to mimic the smoky heat, or use canned chipotle powder if available.
