Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, cheese, cumin, chili powder, and green onions. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. The filling should have a tremendous harmony of flavors, reflecting the essence of Southwestern cuisine.

  2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture in the center of the wrapper. Take care not to overfill; you want to ensure the wrappers can be rolled up tightly.

  3. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, carefully sealing the filling inside. Complete the roll by tightly rolling it upwards towards the top corner. Make sure to tuck in the edges as you go; this will help hold the filling in place.

  4. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, creating enough egg rolls to satisfy your cravings or feed your guests. This step is not just about assembly; it’s about creating a tremendous bonding experience with each roll you make.

  5. For frying: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Carefully place the egg rolls in the oil, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. The sizzling sound will be music to your ears! For air frying: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the egg rolls for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through for an even coating of crispiness.

  6. Serve the warm Southwestern Egg Rolls with your choice of hot sauce or salsa for dipping. The combination of flavors and textures in each bite is sure to delight.
