Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cooked chicken, 1/2 cup black beans, 1/2 cup corn kernels, 1/4 cup red bell pepper, 1/4 cup green onions, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the sides in, and roll tightly. Use a bit of water to seal the top corner. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- To make the guacamole, scoop the flesh of 2 ripe avocados into a bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in 1/4 cup red onion, 1/4 cup tomato, 1/4 cup cilantro, and the juice of 1 lime. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the Southwest egg rolls with the guacamole on the side, and enjoy!
The history of Southwest Egg Rolls dates back to the 1990s when they first appeared on the menu of a popular American restaurant chain. These crispy, flavorful appetizers quickly gained a cult following for their unique blend of Tex-Mex flavors and crunchy texture. The dish features a filling of seasoned chicken, black beans, corn, spinach, and melted cheese, all wrapped in a crispy egg roll wrapper. Served with a side of creamy guacamole, these egg rolls became a staple at parties, gatherings, and restaurants across the country. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found at Tex-Mex restaurants known for their authentic flavors and skilled chefs. The key to getting this dish right lies in the perfect balance of spices, the freshness of the ingredients, and the crispy texture of the egg roll wrapper. For a fun twist, some chefs also offer a baked version of the Southwest Egg Rolls, which provides a healthier alternative without sacrificing the delicious flavors.
