The capsaicin in hot peppers is what makes peppers hot. If you handle hot peppers gloveless, itā€™s a guarantee that youā€™re in for a nasty case of chili burn, both on your fingers and anywhere you rub. Like your face. Ouch!

Even if you wear disposable gloves, be careful about what you touch. The gloves are going to protect your fingers, but touching any part of your body with the gloves after youā€™ve handled hot peppers can lead to severe chili burn.

Resist the temptation to rub your eyes. Wait until youā€™ve removed your gloves and washed your hands thoroughly with soap.

Ideally, you want to heat the oil to at least 350Ā°F before adding the egg rolls to the oil. A candy thermometer comes in very handy for this. If the temperature of the oil is too low your egg rolls will be very greasy. If the temp is too high the egg rolls will burn.

When it comes to Deep Frying food you want to choose an oil that has a high smoke point and neutral in flavor so it won’t affect the flavor of whatever you are frying. Vegetable Oil, Corn Oil, Canola Oil and Peanut Oil are some of the more popular and affordable options.

You will need the following ingredients to make this JalapeƱo Avocado Egg Rolls recipe (see recipe card for quantities): Avocados, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Pickled JalapeƱo Peppers, Red Onion, Fresh Cilantro, Fresh Lime Juice, Salt and Pepper, Wonton Wrappers and Oil for Deep Frying.

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, gently mix the avocado, Sun-dried Tomatoes, pickled JalapeƱos, diced onion, cilantro and lime juice together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Fold up bottom half and tightly fold in sides. Gently roll, then seal the fold with a couple of drops of water. Repeat until the avocado mixture or the wonton skins are gone.
