Step-by-Step Instructions for Southwest Egg Rolls

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, jalapeño, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  • Warm each tortilla in a skillet over medium heat for about 10-15 seconds on each side. Keep covered with a kitchen towel.
  • Place 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of a warmed tortilla, fold the sides inwards, and roll from the bottom up. Use water to moisten and seal edges if needed.
  • Heat oil in a deep frying pan to about 2 inches deep over medium heat until shimmering (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  • Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn them.
  • Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • For baking, arrange the assembled egg rolls on a greased baking sheet, spray the tops, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like salsa or guacamole.

Notes

Don’t overfill the egg rolls, seal securely, and ensure the oil is hot enough for frying. Baking option available for a healthier twist.
