Instructions

In a bowl, mix corn, mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Spoon 2 tablespoons of filling into center. Fold bottom corner over filling, then fold in side corners and roll up tightly. Seal edge with water. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Heat ¼ inch oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry egg rolls seam-side down in batches, 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
To make avocado sauce, blend avocado, yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper (and jalapeño or garlic if using) until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve egg rolls hot with avocado sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Add jalapeños or pickled peppers to filling for spice.

Swap cotija for Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a melty version.

Bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes for a lighter option.

Thin avocado sauce with water or lime juice for drizzling.

Air-fry egg rolls at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway.
