This blog posted this recipe and I couldn't resist. We love avocado egg rolls from cheesecake factory, but our bank account can't afford it. So why not make our own? We whipped these up and they were yummy!

Ingredients

• 3 large ripe Avocados, sliced
• 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
• 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, packed in olive oil. chopped
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Egg roll wrappers
• water (for sealing edges of eggrolls)
• oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Heat 2-3 inches of oil until 350 degrees F in a heavy bottomed pot or a deep fryer.
2. Place sliced avocado, cilantro, and salt in a bowl and gently stir to combine.
3. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface, angled towards you like a diamond.
4. Put a few slices of avocado in the center of the wrapper, and top with a couple pieces of sun dried tomatoes.
5. Using your finger dab a little water along the outer edges of the wrapper all the way around (to help seal the egg roll shut).
6. Roll up the eggroll by folding up the bottom corner halfway to cover the avocado mixture. Fold the right and left sides of the wrapper towards the center, creating what looks like an open envelope. Roll the base of the envelope (folded portions) towards the remaining corner. Make sure all edges are sealed shut.
7. Repeat with remaining egg roll wrappers until the avocado mixture is gone.
8. Place the egg rolls one or two at a time in the hot oil, and cook until they are golden brown (approximately 2-3 minutes).
9. Remove from oil to paper towels to drain.
10. Cut at an angle and enjoy!
