Ingredients
– 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
– 1 cup frozen corn
– 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup diced red bell pepper
– ½ cup diced green onion
– 1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or Cheddar)

– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

– 1 package eggroll wrappers
– Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create delicious Chili’s Southwest Eggrolls in your kitchen:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, frozen corn, black beans, diced red bell pepper, diced green onion, shredded cheese, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Assemble the Eggrolls: Lay one eggroll wrapper on a clean, flat surface, with one corner facing you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling at the center of the wrapper.
3. Fold the Eggrolls: Fold the corner closest to you over the filling. Then, fold the left and right corners inward, making it look like an envelope. Finally, roll it away from you to seal the eggroll. Use a little water on the edges to secure it if needed.
4. Heat the Oil: In a deep pan or frying pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. You’ll want enough oil to fully submerge the eggrolls.
5. Fry the Eggrolls: Carefully place the eggrolls in the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the eggrolls from the oil. Place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
7. Prepare for Serving: Allow the eggrolls to cool slightly before serving.
This process will leave you with a wonderful batch of crispy, flavorful eggrolls that are bound to make your taste buds tingle with happiness!
