Southwestern Egg Rolls are crispy, golden appetizers filled with a zesty blend of chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, and Tex-Mex spices. Baked, fried, or air-fried, these rolls are perfect for parties, game days, or an easy dinner twist.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (frozen, canned, or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying or brushing if baking
  • Optional: dipping sauces like avocado ranch, salsa, or chipotle mayo

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together chicken, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, green onions, spinach, cheese, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and salt.
  2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you.
  3. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the filling into the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal with water.
  4. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. To fry: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry 2–3 egg rolls at a time for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
  6. To bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place egg rolls on a baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway.
  7. To air-fry: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping once until crispy and golden.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.Add jalapeños or chipotle for a spicy version.Freeze assembled, uncooked egg rolls for future meals—bake or air fry from frozen.Omit cheese or use dairy-free alternatives for a dairy-free version.Best served with dipping sauces like chipotle mayo or avocado ranch.
