Chili's Southwestern Egg Rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, Monterey Jack cheese, red bell pepper, green onions, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
  3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Moisten the top corner with water to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the egg rolls in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
  5. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
