We didn’t want to have mushy avocado egg rolls. Adding shredded carrot give great structure and flavor to the egg rolls. Also, extra veggies are always a plus! Eating these fresh and hot is best because they'll be more crispy. The moisture from the avocado will them them soften fast.

Ingredients
For the Egg Rolls
Vegetable oil for frying
12egg roll wrappers (or Lumpia/Spring Roll pastry wrappers)
4medium avocados, seed removed & peeled
1cup(128g)shredded carrots
5sprigsgreen onions, diced (or 1/3 cup diced red onion)
1/4teaspoon(1.25ml)kosher salt or sea salt , or to taste
1teaspoon(5ml)sugar, optional or to taste
Instructions
Make the Dipping Sauce:
Combine all the ingredients in a blender (oil, water, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, black pepper, salt, and sugar) until everything is smooth. Set aside.
Make the Filling
In bowl, mash the avocados to a chunky texture. Add carrots, onions, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir to combine evenly, but try not to over-mix and lose the chunky texture of the avocados. Taste the filling and add additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Rolling & Frying: Using egg roll wrappers or spring roll wrappers, add about 2 Tablespoons of the filling to each wrapper. Tuck and roll the wrapper around the filling (watch the video in the post above to see how to roll even and tight rolls). Brush the top corner of the wrapper with water to help seal the wrapper end, and then finish rolling the egg roll. Repeat for all the egg rolls.
Fill large frying pan with about 1/2-inch of vegetable oil and heat oil to about 350°F.
Carefully add egg rolls to frying pan, without crowding the egg rolls in the pan (they will stick together if placed too close. Fry the egg rolls in batches if needed).Fry each side of the egg rolls for about 3 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Remove and blot on paper towel to remove excess oil.Serve with the dipping sauce.
