Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 2 tbsp diced jalapeños (optional for heat)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

For the Egg Rolls:

  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Water, for sealing
  • Oil, for frying

For the Sauce:

 

  • Store-bought creamy avocado sauce

Instructions

  • Make the Filling:
    In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, jalapeños, and spices. Mix well until evenly combined.

  • Assemble the Egg Rolls:
    Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the lower half of the wrapper. Fold in the sides, then roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with a little water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.

  • Fry the Egg Rolls:
    Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes, turning until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

 

  • Serve:
    Serve hot with creamy avocado sauce for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can adjust the heat by adding more or fewer jalapeños.
  • For a healthier version, try baking the egg rolls instead of frying them.

 

  • The egg rolls can be frozen before frying for later use. Just fry them from frozen when ready to serve.
