Southwest Egg Rolls: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 12 minute

Ingredients

– 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
– ½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed
– ½ cup corn, frozen or canned
– ½ cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
– ¼ cup green onions, sliced
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon pepper
– 8 small flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
– Oil for frying (or cooking spray for baking)


Instructions

Creating delicious Southwest Egg Rolls is straightforward when following these steps:

1. Prep Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and ensure the cooked chicken is shredded and everything is diced as needed.
2. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, bell peppers, green onions, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place roughly 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the tortilla. Fold the sides inwards and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Seal the edges with a little water if needed.
4. Repeat: Continue the assembly process until all filling is used up, making about 8 egg rolls.
5. Heat Oil: In a large frying pan, heat enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan over medium heat. If opting for baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
6. Fry Egg Rolls: Carefully place 2-3 egg rolls in the hot oil, cooking until golden brown and crispy on all sides (about 3-4 minutes each side). Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Bake Alternative: If baking, place the egg rolls on a lined baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray and bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
8. Cool: Allow the egg rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns.

Following these steps will help you create an incredible batch of Southwest Egg Rolls effortlessly.
