Description

Crispy homemade Southwest egg rolls filled with a zesty mixture of chicken, cheese, and vegetables, perfect for snacks or meals.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying


Instructions

  1. Mix the chicken, cheese, corn, black beans, bell pepper, green onions, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Lay out one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Place about two tablespoons of the filling in the center.
  3. Fold the wrapper, sealing the edges with water to ensure the filling doesn’t escape.
  4. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, approximately three to four minutes per side.
  6. Blend avocado, sour cream, mayonnaise, and lime juice until smooth for a refreshing dipping sauce.
  7. Serve the egg rolls hot, alongside the creamy avocado ranch sauce.

Notes

Consider experimenting with different spices and preparing the filling ahead of time for convenience.
