Sun Dried Tomato Avocado Egg rolls

These are soooo YUM! I was trying to copy the egg rolls at The Cheesecake Factory and came up with these. Really simple to make, doesn't take too long, and no calories or fat!..... ok, that last part isn't true.

Here is what you will need:

salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
sun dried tomatoes 
egg roll wraps 
chives
avocado (each avocado makes 4 egg rolls)


Before you start preparing anything, heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet on medium.
 Cut onions. We LOVE onions in our house so I added a lot to our egg rolls.


I sliced my avocado long ways while it was still in the peel.... skin... whatever that part of the avocado is called... then i scooped it out with a spoon. I then cut it again. Add salt and pepper to taste.


Lay egg roll wrapper flat and add avocado

 
 Then add the chives 


 Lastly, add the sun dried tomatoes, as many as you like.


 Now its time to fold the egg roll. I'm not fancy so here is how I do it:

Fold the right side over


 Fold bottom over


Fold left side over 


Then roll it all the way. To get the end to stick and close shut you have to wet the very end of the wrapper with just a small amount of water all the way across. I didn't take a picture of this step (I know, I fail) but I promise you its not hard. 

Your skillet should be more than ready now. Be careful not to splash oil on yourself when putting the egg rolls in the pan. 


Cook on both sides for about two minutes or until golden brown. 


Be careful when taking them out. They are extremely hot!

I cut them in half to help them cool down faster. 

This is the sauce I use 


Its technically a salad dressing but can be used as a dipping sauce and oh my goodness its amazing! 

Here is the finished product 


Beautiful, eh?
