Mango and Avocado Rolls Recipe

Mango: A tropical fruit known for its sweet and juicy flesh, adding a burst of flavor to the rolls.

Avocado: A creamy fruit that provides a rich texture and healthy fats, balancing the sweetness of the mango.

Rice paper: Thin, translucent sheets made from rice flour, used to wrap the rolls and hold the ingredients together.

Mixed greens: A blend of various leafy greens, adding freshness and a slight crunch to the rolls.

When working with rice paper, ensure you soak it in warm water just until it becomes pliable but not too soft, as over-soaking can make it tear easily. To achieve a tight roll, place the fillings slightly off-center and fold the sides in first before rolling from the bottom up, similar to making a burrito. This technique helps keep the mango and avocado securely inside the roll.

• mango - Substitute with pineapple: Pineapple offers a similar tropical sweetness and juicy texture, making it a great alternative to mango.

• avocado - Substitute with cucumber: Cucumber provides a refreshing crunch and mild flavor, which can complement the other ingredients well.

• rice paper - Substitute with collard greens: Collard greens can be used as a wrap, offering a sturdy and nutritious alternative to rice paper.

• mixed greens - Substitute with spinach: Spinach is nutrient-dense and has a mild flavor, making it a suitable replacement for mixed greens.

• To keep your mango and avocado rolls fresh, store them in an airtight container. Line the container with a damp paper towel to maintain moisture.
• Place the rolls in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other to prevent sticking.
• Cover the rolls with another damp paper towel before sealing the container.
• Store the container in the refrigerator. The rolls will stay fresh for up to 2 days.
• For longer storage, individually wrap each roll in plastic wrap before placing them in the container.
• If you wish to freeze the rolls, first wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
• Place the wrapped rolls in a freezer-safe bag or container, ensuring to remove as much air as possible.
• Label the container with the date to keep track of freshness.
• When ready to eat, thaw the rolls in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
• For best texture, consume the rolls immediately after thawing, as freezing can alter the texture of the avocado and mango.
• Avoid reheating the rolls, as this can cause the rice paper to become too soft and lose its structure.

• Gently wrap the mango and avocado rolls in a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.
• Place the wrapped rolls in a microwave-safe container and cover with a microwave-safe lid or another damp paper towel.
• Microwave on low power for 20-30 seconds, checking frequently to ensure they don't overheat and become mushy.
• Alternatively, you can steam the rolls for 1-2 minutes. Place them in a steamer basket over boiling water, ensuring they are not directly touching the water.
• If you prefer a crispier texture, lightly brush the rolls with olive oil and pan-fry them over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are warmed through and slightly crispy.
• For an added burst of flavor, serve the reheated rolls with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, lime juice, and a touch of sriracha.

• Knife: To peel and slice the mango and avocado.

• Cutting board: To provide a stable surface for slicing the mango and avocado.

Pre-wash greens: Wash and dry the mixed greens ahead of time and store them in the fridge to keep them fresh and ready to use.
