  3. Working with 1 egg roll wrapper at a time, place each egg roll wrapper on a clean flat surface. Place each wrapper with the points facing up (like a diamond). Dip your finger or use a brush to brush along the edges of the wrapper. Fill each wrapper with about 2-3 tablespoons of avocado filling near the bottom third of the wrapper, being careful not to over fill. Lift the bottom edge of the wrapper tightly over the filling, then fold in the right and left corners towards the center. Continue rolling up tightly until the top of the wrapper is reached. Repeat with remaining wrappers and avocado mixture.

  4. Spray the air fryer with oil spray. Working in batches as needed, place the egg rolls in the basket in a single layer and spray the tops of the egg rolls with the oil spray. Cook at 395 degrees for 6 minutes. Then flip the egg rolls and lightly spray with oil spray. Cook for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, being careful not to overcook and burn.

  5. While the egg rolls are cooking, make the dipping sauce by combining the yogurt, mayonnaise, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic and lime juice in a bowl of food processor or a small blender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Blend until smooth and adjust seasonings to taste.
