Making avocado spring rolls
In a larger bowl, mix avocado, mango, onion, tomato, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Gently submerge the rice paper. (See NOTES on how to know the duration.)
Once submerged, transfer it to a dry and smooth surface.
I place the filling in the middle around the lower third of the rice paper. If you have a standard-size rice paper (approx. 20-22 cm / 8-9 inches), you can fit 2-3 Tbsp of filling, which would make an approx. 10 cm (4-inch) long spring roll.
Place a small portion of the cooked vermicelli noodles on top of the filling.
First, fold the sides gently but tight towards the middle.
Take the bottom seam and fold it upwards gently, but tight.
Use your fingers to tuck the filling tight within the rice paper before rolling it all the way up.
Roll it all the way up, but use your fingers to keep the filling tucked tightly.
Place your finished spring roll on a parchment paper with the closing seam on the bottom.

Notes
Use dry hands → Dry your hand before grabbing another wrapper for the package. If you reach inside with wet hands, they will soften and be hard to separate.
Damp towel or submerging in water? → If you see tapioca starch as the only or first ingredient, you should know it is the delicate type. A damp towel is enough to get them soft. If you see rice flour only or as a first ingredient, then you need to submerge it in water to get them soft.
How to test how much time you need to submerge the rice papers? → The rice paper in the video is made of 100% rice flour. I submerge this type for 7-8 seconds. If unsure about yours, start with 3-4 seconds and place it on a dry surface. If it softens after 2-3 seconds, you are good to go.
