Savor the bold flavors of chilis southwest eggrolls! Packed with tender chicken, vibrant corn, and zesty spices, these crispy delights are perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced green onion
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 12 egg roll wrappers

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, thawed corn, black beans, diced red bell pepper, diced green onion, cumin, and chili powder. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Step 2: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
  3. Step 3: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly. Use a little water to seal the top corner of the wrapper.
  4. Step 4: Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place a few eggrolls into the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Step 5: Remove the eggrolls from oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For storage, keep any leftover eggrolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to 3 days. When reheating, try using an air fryer or oven instead of a microwave to maintain their crispy texture—just heat at 350°F for about 10 minutes. These eggrolls pair wonderfully with a zesty dipping sauce like chipotle ranch or avocado crema for an extra flavor boost. For an added kick, consider mixing some jalapeños or diced green chiles into the filling before rolling them up; it’ll elevate the flavor profile and spice level!
