Avocado Egg Rolls with Dipping Sauce

From: The Cheesecake Factory
Ingredients:
  • 2 large avocados, peeled, pitted, & diced
  • 4 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon minced red onion
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ t. salt
  • 6 egg roll wraps
Method:

Gently stir together avocado, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and salt. Distribute filling evenly onto center of each egg roll wrapper. Position a wrapper so that a corner is pointing toward you; fold the bottom corner up over the filling.

Fold side corners in and roll toward the top corner. Wet the edges of the top corner with a little water. Then fold top corner over and press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

Continue by deep-frying the egg rolls in 375 degree oil for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Slice egg rolls diagonally across middle and serve with prepared dipping sauce.
