Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Southwest Chicken Egg Rolls
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, corn, black beans, chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and jalapeno if desired. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper over the filling mixture and fold in the Monterey Jack cheese.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling into the center. Fold the bottom point over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly towards the top using water to seal.
- For frying, heat oil in a skillet to 350°F. Fry egg rolls for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. For baking, preheat oven to 425°F, place on a baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, and serve hot with dipping sauces.
