Out of all of the delicious items on the Cheesecake Factory menu, their egg rolls are king. Especially the avocado egg rolls; they're stuffed with ripe avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and zesty red onion. These simple ingredients create a flavor explosion in your mouth and they're pretty easy to make at home

The dipping sauce is also super easy to make but if you want to skip a step, you can also serve these with a spicy ranch or any other southwest style dipping sauce.

  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes

  • 4 avocados, chopped

  • 1/4 cup cilantro, minced

  3. Turn the egg roll wrappers on an angle, so that the corner is facing you. Place one to two tablespoons of filling towards the center of the wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with water. You can use a pastry brush or your finger.

  6. Continue rolling until the filling is completely enclosed in the wrapper. Set it aside on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue filling wrappers until you run out of filling.
