- 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced

For the Cilantro Ranch Dip:
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp buttermilk (or milk)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp ranch seasoning mix (or 1/2 tsp each dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
- In a bowl, gently mix avocados, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and cumin.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Place an egg roll wrapper diagonally on a clean surface.
- Spoon 2–3 tbsp of filling onto the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly, sealing the edge with a dab of water.
3. Cook
- Frying: Heat 1–2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry rolls for 2–3 mins per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
- Baking: Brush rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 mins, flipping halfway.
4. Make the Dip
- Whisk all dip ingredients until smooth. Chill until serving.
5. Serve
- Slice egg rolls diagonally and serve warm with the cilantro ranch dip.
🌟 Pro Tips
- Prevent browning: Add extra lime juice to the avocado mix.
- Air fryer option: Spray rolls with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 mins, shaking once.
- Make ahead: Assemble (but don’t fry) and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
🌮 Flavor Twists
- Spicy: Add diced jalapeños to the filling or hot sauce to the dip.
- Cheesy: Sprinkle cotija cheese into the filling.
- Vegan: Use vegan mayo and skip the sour cream (sub coconut yogurt).
