How to prepare Cheesecake Factory Copycat Avocado Egg Rolls
Ingredients:
- 🥑 2 ripe avocados
- 🍅 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 🧅 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 🌿 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 🍋 1 lime, juiced
- 🧂 Salt, to taste
- 🥟 Egg roll wrappers
- 🌽 Oil, for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the filling: Start by cutting the avocados in half, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork.
- Mix in other ingredients: Add the sun-dried tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to the mashed avocado. Stir gently until well combined.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the avocado mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
- Heat the oil: In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Fry the egg rolls: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the egg rolls to the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and serve: Remove the egg rolls and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like sweet chili or ranch dressing.
