Simple Avocado Rolls with Sriracha Mayo
June 8, 2023
A perfect summer lunch or snack made in less than 15 minutes, with no cooking involved. These effortless Avocado Rolls are filled with avocado, carrots, cucumber, mango, lettuce and cilantro for an ultra-smooth and fresh bite, served with a mildly spiced Sriracha Mayonnaise.
Who can resist the delightful appeal of a spring roll? These Simple Avocado Rolls offer a simplified twist, making them incredibly convenient and easy to prepare. You’ll find a generous filling of creamy avocados in delicate rice paper, complemented by an abundance of crisp, vibrant vegetables. To kick the sweet and smooth avocado up, I’ve added my own new addiction: Sriracha Mayo! This exceptional sauce is a flavour revelation—its heat is perfectly balanced, not overwhelming, and elevates the roll to a new level. Get ready to indulge in this remarkable blend of textures and tastes!
Kid-Friendly Version
These Avocado and Mango Paper Rice Rolls are visually appealing and a fantastic way to introduce your little ones to the goodness of fruits and vegetables. They make a refreshing snack or even a light lunch option. The Sriracha Mayo is mild enough, but if your kid is sensible to spicy sauce, change it for a standard mayo. Also, better keep the fresh cilantro out of the rolls and voila! You’ve got a kid-friendly version they can enjoy and roll themselves too!
The Rolling Technique
For those unfamiliar with rolling spring rolls, here is the technique in pictures to help out!
- Soak or rinse the rice paper in water for two seconds, and let it down on a wooden surface.
- Lay down the wet rice paper and fill it with all the ingredients you want in the center of the sheet. (not overfill)
- Fold both sides over the ingredients.
- With the bottom side, cover the ingredients and tighten them lightly to squeeze them together and start rolling upward tightly but gently.
Variations
Of course, they are zillions of variations possible with these rice paper rolls! You could add some vermicelli, tofu, shrimp or eggs to the mix. You are the chef here; the main idea is to keep the smooth avocado, mango, spicy mayo, and the rest you decide. Instead of lettuce for the crunch factor, you could use bean sprouts, basil instead of cilantro, bell pepper instead of cucumbers, etc., you decide!
Convivial Meal
Not sure which of your guest is vegetarian? or who is a cilantro hater? Let your guests make their own rolls! You can make a table filled with various veggies and let people choose their own mix. They even sell water recipients online to dip the rice paper directly at the table (Check this out). It could be a fun way to start dinner, for sure!
FAQ
Is Rice Paper Gluten-Free?
Yes, they are usually made of tapioca and rice flour. Although, if you are Celiac, always watch for the certified gluten-free symbol because some of them could be cross-contaminated. A great way to enjoy low-carb, gluten-free and vegetarian this wrap!
Can I make them ahead of time?
Yes, but no more than one or two hours ahead of time. The rolls contain avocados which will darken, usually after 3 hours. Also, keep them in the fridge, even for an hour, and keep a damp cloth on them to prevent them from drying out.

I like your DIY idea here. Not only does it ward off the cilantro-haters, it gives everyone something interesting to do. I always feel like a party goes better when everyone’s involved in the food. Also, yes forever to spicy mayo. -

I make these for lunch all the time and usually stick to more traditional fillings but I love both avocado and mango too. I think this combination would be delicious!!-

The idea was to show you don’t need to make the whole vermicelli, and shrimps (preparation) and still get a fun and easy bite out of those rice papers.
