Avocado Egg Rolls
It’s game night at our house, and snacks are non-negotiable. My boys love avocados, so I knew these Cheesecake Factory copycat avocado egg rolls would be a hit. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and packed with flavor, they were gone almost as soon as I set them down.
We love bringing our favorite Cheesecake Factory recipes home, like my Louisiana Chicken Pasta, and these egg rolls are right up there with it. Dip them in ranch, cilantro ranch, or eat them plain, but fair warning: once you start, it’s hard to stop.
How Do You Make Avocado Egg Rolls?
- In a large skillet heat the olive oil to medium high heat.
- In a medium bowl, add the avocado and mash to desired consistency. Add the onion, tomato, cilantro, garlic powder, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.
- To make the egg rolls: Place the avocado mixture in the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges with water, then bring the bottom edge of the wrapper and roll it tightly over the filling. Fold in the sides and continue to roll up the wrapper and press to seal. Repeat until you have used all of the wrappers.
- Add the egg rolls to the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown on all sides for about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a metal tong onto a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Can You Prepare the Egg Rolls Ahead of Time?
Freezing both uncooked and cooked egg rolls is pretty easy but in the case of the latter, once cooked, you’ll need to give them at least 1-2 hours to cool down before freezing. Generally, you can just take frozen egg rolls out of the freezer and drop them into a deep fryer straight away.
Can You Freeze the Avocado Egg Rolls?
Yes! These are great to freeze after being made. Store in an air-tight container or ziplock baggie. Straight from the freezer to the microwave or oven to warm them up. They will last in the freezer up to 3 months. You do not need to thaw them or place in the refrigerator to thaw once frozen.
What are Egg Roll Wrappers Made From?
American Chinese restaurants often serve egg rolls as crispy, deep-fried appetizers. Cooks fill a thick wheat flour wrapper with shredded cabbage, chopped pork, and other savory ingredients, then roll it into a cylinder and fry it in hot oil until golden and crisp.
What is the Difference Between Egg Rolls and Spring Rolls?
Spring rolls usually use a thin, almost translucent wrapper and are often served fresh or lightly fried. Egg rolls use a thicker wheat flour wrapper, and cooks almost always fry them until crisp and golden.
What is the Best Avocado?
If the avocado yields to firm gentle pressure you know it’s ripe and ready-to-eat. Ripe, ready to eat avocados may have a darker color but color can vary so it is best to go by feel as well as color. It will feel lightly soft but it will not feel “mushy” to the touch. Ripe fruit is perfect for that day.
How Do I Ripen an Avocado?
Avocados do not ripen on the tree; they ripen or “soften” after they have been harvested. To speed up the avocado ripening process we recommend placing unripe avocados in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana for two to three days until they are ripe. We do not recommend any other method of ripening.
