Southwestern Egg Rolls with Cilantro Avocado Sauce
Loaded with avocado, corn, beans and tomatoes! And you’ll never guess that it’s completely baked!
Okay let’s be honest here.
These egg rolls are classified as an appetizer, but really, it’s dinner. Plus, avocado is loaded with healthy fats so that makes these egg rolls super healthy, right?
I mean these are completely baked too so that just means this is extra extra healthy.
So to sum up, it just makes it a healthy dinner.
And with Reynolds aluminum foil, even clean up is a breeze without any sticking. Boom.

- 1 Roma tomato, diced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

- 1 jalapeno, seeded and deveined, optional
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic
- Juice of 1 lime
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- PREHEAT oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking pan with Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil. Grease or spray foil to prevent sticking.

Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrapper with water, pressing to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and avocado mixture.

I love your blog! These recipes are so inventive and always taste amazing!!! 🙂 I was just wondering if there is any way you could let me know the nutritional information as I just started this diet plan and I’m trying to see if this would fit into it! Thank you so much!
I don’t have a food processor. How can I make the sauce instead?
You can also use a blender.
Wondering if you think this can be made beforehand, including rolling in egg roll, refrigerated, and then cooked? Want to make these for my daughter’s graduation party (200 kids!!) but would rather bake at venue rather than reheat. Do you think wrapper will hold up to 24-48 hours of cold storage prior to baking?
I’m just starting to discover the joy of cooking, and I do *love* your recipes because they’re so inventive, easy enough even for me, and they really are damn delicious! 😉 Thanks.
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment.
Are the egg rolls in the photo baked or fried?
The egg rolls are prepared as the recipe is written.
WOW!!! I really loved it. The pictures of the dish looks delicious and classy. you narrated the procedure of preparing recipe very nicely. It looks very easy to cook this dish.

Do you think that these can be frozen?
Unfortunately, I cannot answer this with certainty as I have never tried freezing this myself – there were no leftovers left to freeze! Please use your best judgment for freezing and reheating.
Sounds like a great appetizer, what would you suggest to transform the rolls into a complete and healthy meal?
Leftover roasted chicken from the night before would be a great addition, and a perfect way to repurpose leftovers!
These were very easy to make, but I found the recipe needed a lot more spice. Also seemed a bit one note with so much avocado so I would add cubed chicken next time. BTW, love all your recipes!
What a tasty treat for the weekend! My family will love them!
Love your recipes! I would really like to make this one BUT I live in the very southwest of Mexico on the coast and I guess egg roll wrappers are not a big thing here. Cannot find them anywhere 🙁 All the other ingredients are in abundant supply 🙂 Is it possible to make them? If not any ideas on possible substitutions? Thx!
Susan, you can substitute rice or spring roll wrappers. This is thinner with a more rubbery texture. You can also substitute Phyllo dough, which is flakier. Hope that helps!
Maybe you could use thin flour tortillas instead of the egg roll wrappers. Just a thought.
Is this recipe calling for 4 avocados? thank you
Three avocados total, actually. 2 for the egg rolls themselves, and 1 for the dipping sauce.
What type of avocados are you using? The little haas ones or the big ones? Want to make this but want to make sure I use the right size avocado.
Thanks.
Standard-size avocados will work just fine.
Really nice post.I am going to make this soon.Thanks for sharing with us.
I have looked for egg roll wrappers in multiple stores and have never been able to find them. Where did you find yours?
Most mainstream grocery stores should carry them.
They are usually located in the produce aisle because they have to be kept refrigerated.
Check the frozen food section .
Chungah, I can’t seem to find the instructions for the sauce. Do you put everything into a blender and blend until smooth?
Yes. Please refer to step 2:
COMBINE cilantro, sour cream, jalapeno, mayonnaise, garlic and lime juice in the bowl of a food processor; season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Wow, If I made these they would totally not last long in our house. Anything with avocado and black beans is a winner in my book. Can’t wait to try these!
OMG! This sounds so fresh and delicious. I must make these. I think the dipping sauce would be good with a lot of things. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!
Wishes for tasty dishes, Linda
This recipe looks incredible! Can I use spring roll wraps instead? Egg roll wraps are really hard to find for some reason.
Yes, absolutely.
Mine did not turn out with spring rolls : ( so sad
I made the southwestern “egg rolls” tonight – yum! So, I ordered groceries and I’m not sure if it was a sub or I selected the wrong one, but I thought I got egg roll wrappers when I actually got wonton wrappers. They came out just fine (only maybe 12 mins to cook instead of 18 and it took the whole package), but yum. That said, I did make a few minor tweaks:
-I use maybe 5 of those colorful grape tomatoes instead of 1 roma
-I put a 2 heaping teaspoons (as in the cutlery kind, not the measuring kind) each of Goya Recaito cilantro base in both the filling and the dip (4 spoons total)
– The filling didn’t quite have 2 avocados as one was still too hard, so only part of it was ready enough, didn’t seem to matter
– Added a tiny bit of finely diced/chopped red onion
– Added a sprinkle of cayenne pepper
-No jalapeno
-Note: The dip needs to be at least doubled if doing the wonton method
That said, had a ton leftover, so here’s hoping they’re good past the first day! These would be perfect for a party, but I will say it’s a lot of work (at least for the wontons) so it might tucker you out for your party and I’m not sure if they’re the kind of thing you can make ahead successfully. That said, highly recommend. Even Mom loved them and she’s not a fan of cumin.
Thank you for the recipe!!
Can parsley be used instead of cilantro (which I really don’t like)?
Yes, absolutely.
Hi Chungah,
I love southwestern egg rolls and now there is a recipe! Thank you so much and I absolutely cannot wait to make them, my husband will devour them as well. My question is…can I use parchment paper instead of aluminum foil for the baking process? Thanks,
Yes, of course, but I find that these are best when aluminum foil is used.
Foil it is! Thank you again Chungah. 🙂
