Place the egg rolls on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours, or up to a month.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour oil into the pan until a depth of 1 inch is reached. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
Place 4 to 5 egg rolls in the pan, and do not overcrowd. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until deep golden brown, then drain on paper towels. Repeat the process with the remaining egg rolls.
In a food processor or blender, blend together the ranch dressing, avocado, cilantro, salt, and pepper until completely smooth.
Cut the egg rolls in half on the diagonal, then serve with avocado ranch sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
