avocado egg rolls recipe
When warmer weather comes, so does my hankering for avocados! Avocados are rich in healthy fats and just plain delicious! Whether you enjoy them in a fresh guacamole with chips or on a sandwich, avocados are a great way to boost the “yum factor” in recipes. This hankering inspired my scrumptious Avocado Egg Rolls! You won’t be able to stop at just one!
At Simple Acres we love good food without sacrificing a lot of time and unneeded effort. This recipe can be made in minutes, yet will impress whomever you prepare it for. My whole family enjoyed these egg rolls, even my 6 year old!

That sounds so good, love sauteed mushrooms! Appreciate the tip about moistening the edges, noted! 🙂
Last night I made the eggrolls with 3 wedges of avocado and some sautee’d mushrooms (in Pam or some other preferred spray – i used coconut oil spray) and onion slivers, along with a half of a piece of pepper jack (packaged like American) cheese. I laid the cheese down first, then fit the avocado together like a puzzle, then put about a teaspoon of the mushroom onion mixture on top. I wish I’d have thought to add cilantro. maybe tonight, since I’m so freaking addicted to these things! Don’t forget to moisten around the edges with either water or egg white. I just use water and seal it up tight. Nothing leaks even in the experimental deep fried ones I made.
oh yummy! These look divine!
