Instructions
Creating Chili’s Southwest Eggrolls is enjoyable if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, green onions, red bell pepper, taco seasoning, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
2. Assemble Eggrolls: Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
3. Roll Eggrolls: Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, then fold in the two side corners. Roll tightly away from you, sealing the top corner with a bit of water.
4. Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan or large skillet, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry Eggrolls: Carefully place a few eggrolls in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove eggrolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Repeat: Continue with the remaining eggrolls.
8. Cool Down: Allow eggrolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.
