Ingredients
Eggroll Filling
- 12 pieces Egg roll wrappers (Found near tofu or refrigerated produce.)
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken (Can use rotisserie chicken for convenience.)
- 1 cup Black beans (Rinse and drain well.)
- 1 cup Corn (Frozen corn works best; thaw and pat dry.)
- 1 cup Bell pepper (Dice small; red preferred for sweetness.)
- 1/2 cup Onion (Chopped.)
- 1/2 cup Jalapeños (Fresh or pickled, finely chopped.)
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder (Part of the spice mix.)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin (Part of the spice mix.)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (Part of the spice mix.)
- 1/2 cup Cheese (Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack) (Shredded.)
- Oil as needed Oil for frying or spray oil for air fryer/oven (Use according to cooking method chosen.)
Instructions
Prepare the Filling
- Warm a skillet with a little oil.
- Add onion and bell pepper and cook until softened.
- Stir in corn, black beans, jalapeños, and spices.
- Add shredded chicken and mix well.
- Turn off heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Stir in shredded cheese last.
Rolling the Eggrolls
- Lay the wrapper like a diamond. Put filling slightly below the center.
- Fold the bottom up over the filling, fold the sides in, then roll it up snugly.
- Use an egg wash or a little water to seal the edges.
Cooking Methods
- For deep frying, heat oil to 350°F and fry for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown.
- For air frying, spray with oil and air fry at 380°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
- For oven baking, place on a rack over a sheet pan, spray with oil, and bake at 425°F for 18 to 20 minutes.
Notes
Make ahead by preparing the filling up to 3 days ahead. Store in the fridge and roll just before cooking for optimal texture. Leftover eggrolls can be reheated in an air fryer for best results.
