Ingredients

Ranchito Sauce

  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise (We use Duke's)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Hot Sauce of choice, to taste
  • 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing plus extra for dipping

Egg Rolls

  • 2 boneless skinless Chicken Breast halves
  • 1 Avocado
  • Eight 6-inch Egg-Roll Wrappers
  • 2 Plum Tomatoes seeded and diced
  • 2 slices Bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1 Egg, beaten with 2 teaspoons Water to create and Egg Wash
  • Cornstarch for dusting
  • Vegetable Oil for frying
  • Ranch Dressing for dipping

Instructions

Ranchito Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, hot sauce and 1/2 cup ranch dressing. Set aside. This can be done in advance. Store, covered, in the refrigerator, until ready to use.

Egg Rolls

  • Bake or grill chicken breasts to an internal temperature of 165°F. Set aside to cool. Shred or cut into bite-sized pieces. This, too, can be done in advance. Store, covered, in the refrigerator, until ready to use.
  • Starting at the top, with a very sharp knife, cut down into each avocado until you hit the pit. Cut completely around the avocado, top to bottom, touching the pit the entire time.
  • Pull the two halves of the avocado apart and remove the pit with a spoon.
  • Use the spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin. Slice flesh into 16 wedges.
  • Place one egg roll wrapper on the counter, one corner pointing toward you in a diamond (not square) shape.
  • Stack one-eighth of the chicken, tomatoes, bacon and cheese in a line across the lower third of the wrapper, being careful to leave at least 1-inch between the filling and each edge of the wrapper.
  • Top with 2 slices avocado.
  • Fold the lower third of the wrapper over the filling. Gently pull back to tuck into a tight bundle.
  • Paint egg wash along the remaining edges of the wrapper. Fold sides of wrapper over filling. Roll up and press egg-washed edges firmly to seal.
  • Dust a tray or baking sheet lightly with cornstarch; place finished egg roll, seam side down, on the tray.
  • Repeat with remaining egg roll wrappers and ingredients.
  • Heat oil in a deep skillet to 375°F.
  • Carefully place egg rolls 2 or 3 at a time, do not crowd, into hot oil. Fry 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-covered plate to drain.
  • Continue with remaining egg rolls.
  • Serve with Ranchito Sauce and plain Ranch Dressing for dipping.
