Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, finely shredded
  • 1 cup black beans, drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels, drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
  • 1 tablespoon southwest seasoning blend (or mix of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne)

Assembly and Cooking

  • 8–10 eggroll wrappers
  • Oil for frying (about 2 cups or as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Finely shred the cooked chicken and combine it with the drained black beans, corn kernels, chopped green chilies, shredded cheese, and southwest seasoning blend in a mixing bowl. Stir until ingredients are well incorporated to create the flavorful filling.
  2. Assemble the Eggrolls: Lay eggroll wrappers flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of filling onto each wrapper near one corner. Fold and tightly roll the wrapper around the filling, sealing the edges with a dab of water to prevent them from opening during cooking.
  3. Fry Until Golden: Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet to medium-high heat, approximately 350°F (175°C). Carefully place each eggroll into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  4. Serve While Hot: Serve the Southwest eggrolls immediately with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, salsa, chipotle ranch, or avocado crema for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • Even Filling: Avoid overstuffing the wrappers to prevent tearing during frying.
  • Oil Temperature: Maintain oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for optimal crispiness and to avoid sogginess.
  • Pat Dry Ingredients: Drain beans and corn well to reduce moisture and prevent soggy wrappers.
  • Rest Before Frying: Let the rolled eggrolls rest for a few minutes to help seals set properly.
  • Use a Thermometer: Check oil temperature with a kitchen thermometer to ensure consistent results.
