What Kind Of Meat Goes Into Southwest Egg Rolls?

Rotisserie chicken is the best kind of meat for this recipe – so make sure you pick one up at your local supermarket or Costco. Then, simply pull apart and shred the chicken and set aside for use in this dish.

How Do You Make Southwest Egg Rolls?

This recipe is incredibly easy. We start with combining the chicken and the southwest vegetable and seasoning mixture into a bowl. Then add that filling to your egg roll peel. After that, all you have to do is wrap the egg roll, deep-fry, and you’ll have these delicious snacks in your mouth in under 30 minutes.

The Ingredients for Southwest Egg Rolls

• 1 pound Rotisserie Chicken (shredded)
• 1 cup Canned Corn
• 1 cup Black Beans
• 1/2 cup Red Bell Peppers (chopped)
• 1/2 cup Green Bell Peppers (chopped)
• 1 cup Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese (mixed blend)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 package Egg Roll Wrappers
• 1 Egg (for egg wash)
• Neutral Frying Oil

The Equipment Needed

• Large Mixing Bowl
• Large Stock Pot
• Kitchen Mama Auto Can Opener

Sauté Your Vegetables

Open your cans of corn and bean with your can opener.

Then, in your sauté pan, add in 1 teaspoon of olive oil and your corn, beans, all of your chopped vegetables, cumin, cayenne and salt. Sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes over high heat, or until the vegetables start to roast.

Make Your Southwest Egg Roll Filling

In a bowl, combine your shredded rotisserie chicken and your sautéed vegetables.

Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

Filling & Wrapping Your Egg Rolls

Take a sheet of egg roll peel and position it in a diamond shape in front of you.

Apply a dab of egg wash to all sides of the wrapper, to help seal the egg roll.

Then add in a foundation of your Southwest Egg Roll filling, topped with a layer the shredded Mozzarella & Provolone cheese.

Start at the bottom corner and roll the egg roll wrapper over your filling until you have rolled your egg roll half way up. Then fold in each corner and then continue to roll up to the end.

Repeat until you have about 8-10 egg rolls – and then place them on a parchment paper or butcher paper lined tray.

Deep-Fry Your Southwest Egg Rolls

Prepare a stock pot of neutral oil, heated to 350°F.

Drop in 2-3 egg rolls into your hot oil – keeping in mind not to over crowd the pot.

Deep fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown (flip once during the fry), then remove from the oil and let sit on a cooling wire rack for about 5 minutes.

Serving Your Egg Rolls

These Southwest Egg Rolls are served best by themselves or with a rich and spicy sauce like my Cowboy Butter!
