Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup whole kernel corn
  • 1–2 jalapeños, chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste

Wrapping & Cooking

  • 8–10 tortilla wrappers or eggroll wrappers
  • Cooking oil for frying (or brush for baking)
  • Water or egg wash for sealing wrappers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Cook and dice or shred the chicken. In a bowl, combine chicken, black beans, corn, chopped jalapeños, shredded cheese, sour cream, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to blend all flavors well.
  2. Fill the wrappers: Lay out each tortilla or eggroll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the filling into the center, spreading it evenly but leaving space on the edges for folding.
  3. Roll and seal: Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other. Moisten the edges with water or egg wash to seal securely and prevent opening during cooking.
  4. Cook the eggrolls: Heat a few inches of oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the eggrolls in batches for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. For a baked alternative, brush eggrolls with oil and bake at 400°F (205°C) for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like salsa, guacamole, or southwest ranch for a delicious complement.

Notes

  • Drain the filling well to prevent soggy wrappers.
  • Do not overfill the wrappers to avoid bursting during cooking.
  • Seal edges properly using water or egg wash.
  • Maintain appropriate oil temperature for even cooking and crispiness.
  • Enjoy eggrolls immediately for best texture and flavor.
