Why You’ll Love Bj’s Avocado Egg Rolls Recipe
One of my favorite things about these avocado egg rolls is how easy they are to make. You don’t need any fancy tools or chef skills-just a handful of fresh ingredients, some egg roll wrappers, and a skillet for frying. If you’re new to homemade appetizers, this is a great recipe to start with.
But let’s be real-the flavor is what makes these irresistible. The creamy avocado pairs beautifully with juicy tomatoes, a little crunch from onion, and, if you’re feeling adventurous, a smoky kick from chipotle peppers. It’s fresh, bold, and just downright delicious.
And here’s the best part: they’re so versatile. These egg rolls are perfect for game day snacks, a fun starter for family dinners, or even a quick late-night treat.

How To Make Bj’s Brewhouse Avocado Egg Rolls Recipe
Just follow these easy steps to make your own Bj’s Avocado Egg Roll at home
1. Mix up the filling
In a medium bowl, gently stir together your diced avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and chipotle pepper (if you’re using it). Be careful not to mash the avocado-you want nice chunks for that creamy bite.
2. Get the wrappers ready
Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Scoop 1–2 spoonfuls of the filling right into the center. Brush the edges with a little beaten egg-this will help seal everything up.
3. Roll ‘em up
Fold in the sides, then start rolling from the bottom up, tucking in as you go. Brush the edge with more egg wash to make sure it stays closed. Repeat with the rest of your wrappers until all the filling is used.
4. Fry to golden perfection
Pour about ½ inch of oil into a skillet and heat it over medium. Once the oil’s hot, carefully add your egg rolls and fry until they’re golden and crispy on all sides-usually 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off excess oil.
5. Serve and enjoy
These are best eaten hot and fresh! Dip them into ranch, chipotle mayo, or even a tangy salsa for that perfect finishing touch.
How to Store Bj’s Avocado Egg Roll Properly?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to restore their crispiness-avoid microwaving as it makes the wrappers soggy.
What to Pair and Serve with Bj’s Brewhouse Avocado Egg Rolls
1. With Chipotle Mayo
We love dipping these crispy rolls into smoky chipotle mayo. The heat balances the creamy avocado filling beautifully-it’s hands-down one of our go-to pairings.
2. Alongside BJ’s Chicken Tortilla Soup
On chilly nights, we serve them with a hot bowl of BJ’s Chicken Tortilla Soup. The crunch of the egg rolls with the comforting soup makes the whole meal feel complete.
3. With Sweet Chili Sauce
If you’re into a sweet and spicy kick, sweet chili sauce works wonders. We’ve tried it a few times, and honestly, it’s addictive.
4. As a Game-Day Snack Platter
For parties, we place these rolls on a big platter with wings, sliders, and nachos. They disappear fast-guests always ask for the recipe.
5. With Guacamole and Salsa
Yes, more avocado! Pairing them with guac and salsa adds layers of flavor, and we like how it turns into a mini Mexican-style feast.
6. With Asian-Inspired Sauces
We once served them with soy sauce mixed with a splash of rice vinegar and sesame oil-surprisingly, it gave the rolls a fun, fusion-style twist.
7. Beside a Fresh Salad
If we’re keeping things light, a crisp salad with lime vinaigrette balances out the richness of the fried rolls. It feels like a restaurant plate.
8. With Ranch Dressing
Classic ranch works every time. We especially love this combo when serving kids since it’s mild and universally loved.

I made these avocado egg rolls last weekend, and wow-they were so yummy! The outside was crunchy, and the inside was soft and creamy. My family ate them so fast, I had to make another batch. They tasted even better than takeout!
Tips for BJ’s Avocado Egg Rolls Recipe
1. Pick ripe avocados – Soft but not mushy ones work best.
2. Don’t overfill – A small spoon of filling is enough.
3. Seal tight – Use egg wash on the edges so they don’t open.
4. Hot oil matters – Fry in hot oil for a crispy shell.
5. Try baking – Use an oven or air fryer if you want less oil.
6. Dip it – Ranch, salsa, or chipotle mayo makes them even better.
FAQs on Avocado Egg Rolls Bj’s Recipe
Here are some common questions I’ve got you covered about the Bj’s Avocado Egg Rolls Recipe.
1. Can I make these avocado egg rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely. We often prep the filling a few hours in advance and keep it covered in the fridge. Just don’t assemble and fry until you’re ready. If you wrap them early, store them on a tray covered with plastic wrap so the wrappers don’t dry out.
2. What kind of egg roll wrapper works best?
We usually use the standard wheat-based egg roll wrappers you find in Asian grocery/freezer aisles. They’re sturdy enough to survive frying, but not so thick that they overpower the soft avocado interior. (If you ever work on BJ’s Root Beer Glazed Wings Recipe, you’ll know how important wrapper texture is for fried items.)
3. How ripe should the avocados be?
We aim for avocados that are fully ripe but still firm-not mushy. That way they mash gently but still maintain some chunkiness. Overripe ones tend to turn into a watery puree, which makes wrapping messier.
4. Can I bake or air fry instead of deep frying?
Yes, we’ve tested both methods. Baking (at around 425 °F, turning halfway) works but won’t be quite as crisp. Air frying (preheated ~375–390 °F, flipping once) gives a good crunch with less oil. But for that classic restaurant texture, frying in oil gives the best result.
5. Why do some rolls burst during frying?
We found a few causes over time:
Wrappers too loosely rolled
Air trapped inside
Oil temperature too low, causing longer cooking and weakening the wrapper
To prevent that: roll tightly, seal edges with egg wash (or slurry), and maintain a hot oil temperature (around 350–375 °F).
6. What dipping sauces pair best?
We love serving these with chipotle mayo, ranch dip, or a tangy salsa. For a BJ’s-style meal, you could also pair with flavors from your BJ’s Root Beer Glazed Wings -the sweet-savory tones can bridge between appetizer and wing courses nicely.
7. Can I add extra ingredients, like chicken or cheese?
Yes-if you want a more filling roll, you can mix in small bits of cooked, diced chicken or a little grated cheese with the avocado filling. Just be careful not to overfill, or the wrapper may tear while wrapping or frying.
8. How long do leftover rolls stay good?
In our experience, they stay okay in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container. After that, the wrapper may lose crispness and the avocado can darken. We don’t recommend longer storage for best texture and flavor.
9. How do I reheat to keep them crispy?
We reheat in the oven or air fryer at ~350 °F for 5–7 minutes. This revives crispiness without making the avocado inside too soft. Avoid microwaving-microwaves make the wrapper soggy from steam.
10. Can children or sensitive eaters handle the chipotle pepper version?
Yes-with a tweak. We often skip or reduce the chipotle in batches for kids or those who don’t like heat. You can always serve the “spicy version” on the side and let guests dip their own. The base filling (avocado, onion, tomato, salt, cilantro) is flavorful enough on its own.
This BJ’s Avocado Egg Rolls Recipe is proof that restaurant favorites don’t need to be complicated. With simple ingredients and quick prep, you can bring a crunchy, creamy, and flavor-packed snack to your table anytime.
