Ingredients:

- 3 ripe avocados, pitted and diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, minced
- Juice of one lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Be careful not to mash the avocados too much; you want the mixture to have a chunky texture.

2. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the avocado mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper.

3. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg. This will act as the glue to seal the egg roll.

4. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly, ensuring that no filling spills out. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or deep fryer to about 350°F (175°C). You'll need enough oil to cover the egg rolls when frying.

6. Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few egg rolls into the oil at a time, frying them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Do not overcrowd the pan.

7. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

8. Serve your Cheesecake Factory CopyCat Avocado Egg Rolls hot with your choice of dipping sauce, and enjoy the crunchy, creamy flavor that's become a hit at tables around the country!
