These egg rolls are extremely tasty and so easy to throw together if you have some friends coming over and need an appetizer. By making the dressing in the mason jar you save so much time with clean-up, and it’s also just pretty darn cool.

Instructions

2. Place sliced avocado, cilantro, and salt in a bowl and gently stir to combine.
3. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface, angled towards you like a diamond.
4. Put a few slices of avocado in the center of the wrapper, and top with a couple pieces of sun dried tomatoes.
5. Using your finger dab a little water along the outer edges of the wrapper all the way around (to help seal the egg roll shut).
6. Roll up the eggroll by folding up the bottom corner halfway to cover the avocado mixture. Fold the right and left sides of the wrapper towards the center, creating what looks like an open envelope. Roll the base of the envelope (folded portions) towards the remaining corner. Make sure all edges are sealed shut.
7. Repeat with remaining egg roll wrappers until the avocado mixture is gone.
8. Place the egg rolls one or two at a time in the hot oil, and cook until they are golden brown (approximately 2-3 minutes).
9. Remove from oil to paper towels to drain.
10. Cut at an angle and enjoy!

I have more, but I also have an emergency order I have to get out today, so they will have to wait. :wave1:

This recipe sounds great!  (If I could only figure out how to make those wraps low carb)

[h2odivers...Ray 952]

Sound delicious. I'll have to try them soon.

Do they freeze well? Prepare them a few days ahead and then fry them when you need them.

I've never frozen avocados before.
