BJ Brewhouse Avocado Egg rolls

Text:
Friend: Want to join us for a birthday dinner tonight?
Me: Sure! BJ brewhouse?
(and this is where I realize that it is probably rude to suggest a dinner place to someone else for THEIR birthday)
Luckily, they wanted to try something new. And I sure do LOVE BJ's. We go probably ONCE a year and I wish I could go once a month. Why? Mostly for the Avocado Egg Rolls. And then I found this...
... now I can get fat and die happy

The original recipe is found here but I made a few changes per the reviews
