Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. Watch the oil temperature and adjust the heat to maintain the temperature.
While oil is heating up, whip the cream cheese with a hand mixer until fluffy and smooth. Add in the diced avocado; gently fold in with a spoon.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water for an egg wash. Lightly brush both sides of the wonton wrappers with the egg wash. Add about 1 t. of the avocado/cream cheese filling in the center of each wonton. Fold the wontons by bringing opposite corners together into the center; repeat with the remaining corners; pinch shut, removing any air pockets.
Working in small batches, carefully fry wontons in the hot oil until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the golden brown wontons from the oil; transfer to paper towels to drain.
Serve hot with the dipping sauce.
