Avocado Rolls

Do you have some friends coming over and need a quick appetizer – try making avocado rolls. These rolls are so easy to put together and are extremely tasty. Today’s recipe is inspired from my favorite restaurant. On our girls night out, one of my dear friend ordered these rolls and insisted that I try them out. The taste of avocado rolls intrigued me as it was astonishingly packed with flavor and since that day I am in love with these rolls and wanted to try this recipe. 

In this post, I have shown my way of making avocado rolls. The original recipe calls for sun dried tomatoes, but since I was out of it, I substituted tomatoes with bell peppers and they tasted equally good. Also, I have used homemade wrappers but to save time store bought spring roll wrappers or other sheets can be used.

RECIPE DETAIL – Hardly any prep work is required for this recipe – 10 minutes and you will have your delicious avocado rolls ready in no time. 🙂 Assemble the filling, and roll the sheets as shown below. Seal the edges with water, it keeps everything secure and works as a glue. 

There are two ways to cook these rolls – one is the old fashioned and the yummiest way – fry them. The other one would be to pan toast them until crispy and brown. Cover the pan and let the rolls cook on medium low flame. This way the innermost layer will be cooked but not crisp and brown like the outer one.

Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce – I have used hot and spicy chili garlic sauce.

SUBSTITUTE – Avocado can be substituted with finely chopped broccoli or boiled/mashed peas but you will miss out on that buttery and rich flavor that avocados give to this dish.
