Description

Crispy Southwest Egg Rolls filled with rotisserie chicken, colorful veggies, and zesty spices, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon of olive oil
  • ¼ cup of diced white onion
  • ¼ cup of diced red bell peppers
  • 2 cups of rotisserie chicken, diced or shredded
  • ½ cup of black beans
  • ½ cup of canned corn
  • ¼ cup of frozen spinach, thawed, drained, and chopped
  • 1 (4 oz) can of green chiles
  • 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of taco seasoning
  • 6-8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ cup of mashed avocado
  • ½ cup of ranch dressing


Instructions

  1. Prepare the dipping sauce by combining the mashed avocado and ranch dressing in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and add the diced white onion and red bell peppers, cooking for about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the diced rotisserie chicken, black beans, corn, spinach, green chiles, taco seasoning, and half of the shredded cheese, cooking together for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. Take one tortilla and place about ¼ cup of filling on the bottom half, fold in the sides, and roll it tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Place the egg rolls into the hot oil a few at a time, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Remove the egg rolls and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider double frying. You can also bake them for a healthier option. Customize the filling to your taste.
