  3        tablespoons  vegetable oil
  3        tablespoons  finely chopped garlic
  1 1/4           cups  fresh lime juice
  6             ounces  chopped dried tomato (packed in oil)
     1/3           cup  chopped fresh cilantro
  1 1/2    tablespoons  ground cumin
  1 1/2    tablespoons  salt
  12            medium  California Avocados -- seeded and peeled,

  24                    egg roll wrappers (6 inches)
 

Preparation:

Saute onion in oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in lime juice, tomato, cilantro, cumin, and salt; fold in avocado. Cool to room temperature. For each roll, lay an egg roll wrapper on a work surface with corner at top. Put 1/2 cup cooled filling in a line from left to right on the center of the egg roll wrapper, leaving a 1-inch border on each side. Pull top corner over filling; fold in sides. Roll once toward bottom corner. Moisten remaining corner with water; press firm to roll. Reserve on a lightly floured sheet pan, sealed side down. Cover and refrigerate until service. Note: Egg rolls may be prepared to this point a few hours before service. Per Order: Deep fry 2 egg rolls at 375 degrees F until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Cut on the diagonal. Serve immediately. Serving Suggestions: Serve on an appetizer plate lined with lettuce, accompanied by 1/4 cup black bean salsa, tomato or tomatillo salsa or a sweet-hot dipping sauce.
