Avocado egg rolls are an irresistible appetizer especially if you love avocados, guacamole or both! They have a nice crunch to them with a creamy and flavorful filling that’s pleasantly irresistible.
While they’re delicious to make any time, they’re fabulous as an hors d’oeuvre for parties and Game Day get-togethers. You only need about 20 minutes to make them, plus they’re vegetarian with about 165 calories each.
How to Make Cheesecake Factory Avocado Egg Rolls
There are 3 steps for making them:
- Assemble the egg rolls: Combine ripe avocados, tomato and red onion with lime juice and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Then spoon onto an egg roll wrapper and wrap tightly, repeating until you’ve used up the filling.
2. Deep Frying – Add 1-inch of vegetable oil to a skillet and heat to 400°F (you can also use a deep fryer). When the oil is hot, simply add one egg roll to fry for 1-2 minutes until golden and remove to a paper towel lined plate.
3. Make the Dipping Sauce – While the egg rolls are cooling, you can quickly make the dipping sauce by combining cilantro, lime juice, sour cream, jalapeno, may and garlic in a food processor. Pulse or puree for about 5 seconds until creamy.
Tips for Making Avocado Egg Rolls
- Selecting ripe avocados is important, i.e. you want them to give slightly to pressure without being mushy.
- Get your equipment ready before deep frying: a paper towel-lined plate or cooling rack, a deep fry thermometer, a mesh strainer or slotted spoon.
- Roll the avocado egg rolls tightly, taking care not to add too much filling. A tablespoonful is usually enough.
- Plan to serve shortly after deep frying. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes and serve warm with the dipping sauce.

Would these freeze well before frying?
