Instructions
- Lay lumpia spring roll sheet flat, place 6-7 thin avocado slices across the sheet, overlapping edge to edge.
- Top with 2 ounces of Spiced Chicken Filling, spreading it edge to edge.
- Roll into a tight spiral. With damp fingertips, moisten the edge of the sheet to ensure a seal. The finished roll should resemble a long cigar.
- Fry lumpia at 350°F for 1-2 minutes, or until they start to brown slightly.
- Serve immediately with Mango-Calamansi Sauce.
Spiced Chicken Filling
- In a bowl, mix ingredients together.
Spiced Grilled Chicken Thighs
- Combine first five ingredients in a bowl, and add chicken thighs. Stir to coat, cover and marinate refrigerated for several hours or overnight.
- Oil a grill rack and cook/grill chicken over medium-hot fire, 3-4 inches from the heat.
- Cover and grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side (175°F internal temperature).
Mango-Calamansi Sauce
- Puree mangos and put in a squirt bottle. Put Calamansi sauce in a squirt bottle. Simultaneously, squirt both mango and Calamansi into ramekins to form a yin-yang/ half and half symbol.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
