The anticipation of the Big Game is palpable. Whether you’re hosting a grand party or enjoying a cozy gathering with close friends, one thing is certain: you need snacks that score big!

They offer all the delightful flavors of your favorite dip, but cleverly contained within a golden, crispy wrapper. No mess, just pure, unadulterated enjoyment. It’s a revolutionary way to savor every bite without missing a moment of the action.

We’re taking that luscious, flavorful guacamole, tucking it snugly inside a crisp egg roll wrapper, frying it to golden perfection, and then pairing it with a vibrant, spicy dipping sauce.

Of course, the foundation of any outstanding avocado dish is selecting the perfect fruit. Have you ever been disappointed after slicing into an avocado, only to find it under or overripe? Choosing the right avocado is actually quite simple once you know what to look for, and it will guarantee the best possible flavor and texture for your guacamole. Pay attention to three key characteristics: Color, Texture, and Firmness.
First, consider the color. Is the avocado bright green or dark green, almost black? A perfectly ripe avocado will have a dark green, almost black skin. However, color alone isn’t always enough, as some varieties stay greener even when ripe. That brings us to texture. The skin should have a slightly bumpy, pebbly texture. Finally, check for firmness. Gently cup the avocado in your palm and apply slight pressure. A ripe avocado will yield to this gentle pressure without feeling mushy or leaving a deep indentation. If it feels hard, it needs more time to ripen. If it feels very soft or squishy, it’s likely overripe.
A useful tip for shopping: if you plan to use avocados throughout the week, it’s smart to buy a mix of ripe and less-ripe ones. If you find yourself with an avocado that needs to ripen faster, there’s a fantastic trick: place it in a paper bag with a banana. Sound crazy? It works wonders! Ripe bananas release ethylene gas, a natural plant hormone that triggers ripening in nearby fruits. The paper bag traps this gas, accelerating the ripening process – sometimes even overnight!

Crafting Your Ultimate Guacamole & Dipping Sauce
My guacamole is bursting with an array of flavors and colors, ensuring a truly unforgettable experience. Starting with premium Avocados From Mexico, I add juicy tomatoes, finely minced jalapeños for a touch of heat, crisp red onion for a slight bite, the bright acidity of fresh lime juice, and fragrant cilantro. But why stop at delicious when you can achieve extraordinary? We’re kicking things up a notch by incorporating the iconic TABASCO® Sauce. This legendary hot sauce isn’t just for heat; it’s a flavor enhancer, bringing depth and a perfectly balanced spiciness to both the guacamole filling and the creamy Spicy Cilantro Ranch Dipping Sauce. It’s the secret ingredient that ties all these incredible tastes together.
TABASCO® Sauce has been a staple in kitchens worldwide for over 150 years, and for good reason. It’s made with just three simple, high-quality ingredients: tabasco peppers, a small amount of salt, and distilled vinegar. What truly sets it apart is its meticulous aging process. The peppers are hand-picked at peak ripeness, mashed with salt, and then aged for three years in white oak barrels, allowing the flavors to mellow and intensify. After aging, the mash is blended with high-quality vinegar, stirred occasionally for weeks, and then strained before bottling. This unique process creates a distinct, rich flavor profile that livens up almost any recipe or dish without overpowering it. Crafted from vine-ripened, red jalapeño peppers over a pecan wood fire, TABASCO® Sauce is the absolute perfect addition to your Big Game Food spread, offering a complex heat that truly elevates everything it touches.

You might never have imagined guacamole could be so wonderfully versatile, but these Guacamole Egg Rolls will undoubtedly become a frequently requested favorite. They’re not just for game day; they’re perfect for any party, a unique lunch, or even a fun family dinner. Get ready to impress everyone with this ingenious twist on a classic!
Let’s Get Rollin’ and Frying!
Crafting these egg rolls is simpler than you might think, and it’s a fun process! Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing down, forming a diamond shape. Scoop about two generous tablespoons of your vibrant guacamole mixture onto the lower center of the wrapper. Next, take the bottom corner and fold it up tightly over the filling, ensuring it’s snug. Then, fold in the two side corners towards the center, creating a neat “envelope” for the delicious filling. Finally, brush the top corner with your egg wash (a whisked egg white mixed with a little water acts as your glue!) and roll tightly from the bottom up. This sealing process is crucial for preventing the filling from escaping during frying. Take your time to make sure each roll is perfectly sealed, ensuring a crispy, golden exterior every time.
Once your egg rolls are expertly wrapped, it’s time for the magic of frying! Pour about an inch of vegetable oil into a sturdy cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350-375°F (175-190°C). A good test is to drop a tiny piece of wrapper into the oil; if it sizzles immediately, it’s ready. Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, which can lower the oil temperature and lead to soggy results. Fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until all sides are beautifully golden brown and irresistibly crispy. Using tongs, carefully remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This will absorb any excess grease, ensuring they remain perfectly crisp. Serve them immediately while they’re still hot, allowing the incredible contrast of the warm, creamy filling and crunchy wrapper to truly shine.
Now for the grand finale: a generous dunk into your homemade Spicy Cilantro Ranch Dipping Sauce. The cool, creamy, and herbaceous ranch, enhanced with that signature TABASCO® kick, perfectly complements the rich, warm guacamole and the crispy wrapper. Each bite is a symphony of textures and flavors – you’ll be cheering for every mouthful, and not just for your team!
Tell us… what’s your favorite way to #FlavorYourWorld with TABASCO® Sauce? We absolutely love adding it to countless dishes beyond these egg rolls! It’s fantastic in burgers, tacos, and pizza, of course. It also adds a delightful zing to dips, marinades, and even breakfast sandwiches for a morning kick.

Guacamole Egg Rolls with Spicy Cilantro Ranch Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
For the Egg Rolls:
- 3 ripe Avocados From Mexico
- 1/8 cup red onion minced
- 1 Roma tomato diced small, about 1/4 cup
- 1/2 jalapeño minced, about 1 Tablespoon
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1-2 teaspoons TABASCO® Sauce
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg white whisked into 1/4 cup water
- vegetable oil for frying
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup milk + 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon TABASCO® Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Ranch Seasoning mix
- pinch of salt
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
-
To Prepare Dipping Sauce: Mix milk and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Let it stand for 10 minutes (this simple step creates a quick buttermilk substitute). Once ready, add the “buttermilk” mixture to the remaining ingredients for the sauce: plain Greek yogurt, TABASCO® Sauce, Ranch Seasoning mix, a pinch of salt, and chopped fresh cilantro. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the sauce is smooth. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until you are ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
To prepare Egg Rolls: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mashed ripe avocados, minced red onion, diced Roma tomato, minced jalapeño, fresh cilantro, salt, fresh lime juice, and TABASCO® Sauce. Mix everything gently until well combined, but avoid over-mixing to maintain some texture. Now, it’s time to roll! Lay out an egg roll wrapper with a corner facing down. Place about 2 tablespoons of the guacamole mixture onto the lower center of the wrapper. Fold up the bottom corner tightly over the filling. Next, fold in the two side corners towards the center, creating a neat package. Brush the top corner of the wrapper with the egg wash (1 egg white whisked into 1/4 cup water) to help seal it. Roll the egg roll tightly from the bottom up. Repeat this process for all 12 egg roll wrappers.
-
To Cook Egg Rolls: Coat the bottom of a cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pot with about 1 inch of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it is hot (around 350-375°F / 175-190°C). Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until all sides are beautifully golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate covered with a paper towel to drain any excess grease. This will help them stay perfectly crisp. Serve hot, paired with your prepared Spicy Cilantro Ranch Dipping Sauce for an explosion of flavor!
