Spring rolls of all kinds are a favorite around here. They make for a great gluten-free snack, appetizer, or lunch.

We decided to give this Vietnamese classic a decidedly American twist by making a BLT spring roll. Actually, a BTLA – because we added avocado.

You can make these spring rolls with real bacon or for a plant-based version, use our crispy vegan bacon instead.

First time making spring rolls? Here are a few tips.

  1. Make the sauce first – this way no waiting around after the spring rolls are rolled.
  2. Gather all your ingredients ahead of time.
  3. Prep your ingredients, do any chopping, slicing, etc. before you start to roll.
  4. Add something crunchy – this just makes for well-balanced rolls.
  5. Don’t oversoak your rice paper wrappers – just a quick dunk (3 – 5 seconds). The rice paper should be a little firm, but it will continue to soften when you lay it on a flat surface.
  6. Don’t over-fill your rolls. Starting at the top one-third of the paper closest to you, layer your ingredients.
  7. Tuck and roll – a tight spring roll is best. Pull the edge of the wrapper from the work surface and roll it over the filling. Continue to roll tucking the edges of the wrapper in over your filling.

Instructions 

  • Make the sauce by whisking together the tamari, water, mayonnaise, lime juice, and chipotle in adobo sauce. Pour into a small serving dish.
  • One at a time, soak rice paper in warm water just until damp – do not over-soak. Place on a cutting board and let sit for 10 – 20 seconds until pliable.
  • Layer fillings on the rice paper wrapper on the one-third section closest to you. Start with the lettuce, then tomatoes, bacon, and avocado slices (two avocado slices per spring roll). Start rolling away from you, tucking and rolling to ensure all the fillings stay in place and the spring roll is tight. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve with the dipping sauce.
