Avocado Rolls



How many of us drool over the Avocado egg rolls at Cheesecake Factory!? I know I do - These came out pretty close to the ones I have eaten there. The egg rolls at CCF are made out of egg roll wrappers. But I used a 8inch tortilla as I did not have egg roll wrappers on hand.

Ingredients:
Half of a ripe avocado (not too ripe or smushy - has to be just right) cut into medium size cubes
Half of a tomato - deeseded and cut into small pieces
2 tbsp finely diced red onion
Dash of garlic powder
Dash of onion powder
Salt/Black Pepper
A  little finely chopped cilantro
A few thinly chopped green onions (green part only) (optional)


Method:
1. Gently mix all the ingredients in a bowl together. Toss gently.
2. Line the mixture in the center of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in from both sides (vertically) and then roll it up (like how chefs roll the burritos as Chipotle ;))
3. I was not sure if the egg wash would hold the thick tortilla together, so instead of using egg wash that would act as glue, I poked toothpicks to hold the roll together.
4. Now heat vegetable or canola oil to fry the roll. Keep the heat on medium as you want the tortilla to fry slowly. Fry it until golden brown. Set aside. Serve with chilli garlic sauce or any spicy sauce of your choice.

Note: You can add add finely chopped jalapenos to give it a little zest!
