I think we have all been to Chili’s and had their Southwest Egg Rolls. They are super crispy, deep fried deliciousness that is filled with chicken, beans, cheese, and plenty of Mexican spices. I think theirs are actually made with fried flour tortillas, but I love the twist with egg roll wrappers to make them extra delicious! And if you love Chili’s don’t miss this Margarita Grilled Chicken and Chili’s Salsa Recipe that are easy homemade copycat recipes from there. To make these egg rolls a little better for you, we are going to make them in the air fryer! You can bake them if you don’t have an air fryer, or if you want to go all out, you can definitely fry them in vegetable oil. No matter what you do, they will be tasty. What You’ll Need Chicken Black Beans Corn Mexican Style Cheese Chili Powder Garlic Powder Cumin Paprika Egg Egg Roll Wrappers How To Make Southwest Egg Rolls Preheat your air fryer to 375º F. If you are using an oven, preheat to 425º F. Or if you want to fry them, fill a heavy bottom pot with 2 inches of oil and heat to 375º F. In a bowl mix together cooked chicken, cheese, black beans, corn, and all of the spices. Then it is time to roll. Start by placing a wrapper on the counter in front of you. I like to place them on the diagonal so the point is facing me. Place about 1/4 – 1/3 cup of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Just be careful not to over fill them or they will not roll up properly and you will lose filling when you cook them. The dip your finger in water and run it around the edge of the whole thing. This helps to seal everything together, so don’t skip this step. Next fold the point that is closest to you over the filling. The you really just wrap it up like a mini burrito. Fold the sides over, gently pressing down as you fold them so they stick together. Then roll it up! Set them aside while you finish filling the rest of them. Brush the outsides with the egg wash and place in the fryer. Be sure none of the rolls are touching. Cook for 10 minutes in the air fryer or oven, turning over halfway through. If you are frying, fry for about 2 minutes each side until crispy and golden. When finished, serve immediately with the Tex Mex Ranch.

What To Dip Them In You really can serve them with a few different things. Homemade Guacamole, or Salsa would be delicious. But I really like this Tex-Mex Ranch. Here is what you need, and then you just mix it all together until it is smooth and you are ready to go! Sour Cream Milk Ranch Seasoning Mix Lime Juice Green Onion How To Store Leftover Egg Rolls Freezing – Take any uncooked or cooked and cooled egg rolls and place them on a baking tray. Put that in the freezer for a couple hours and then transfer the egg rolls to a freezer safe plastic bag. Refrigerate – Store egg rolls in an air tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheating – You can either use your air fryer or your oven. For the air fryer cook at 375º F for about 10 minutes. If they are frozen, just add 1-2 minutes to your cooking time, no need to thaw them. Or place in a 350º F oven for 10-12 minutes until they are hot. These Southwest chicken egg rolls make a delicious appetizer for any occasion or even a great dinner. The filling is loaded with chicken and vegetables, so you don’t even have to feel guilty about them. If you like things spicy, be sure to add some jalapeno to the filling to up the heat level. You could also add a little cayenne to the ranch dipping sauce to make it a little spicy as well. To make this recipe I used a Cosori 5.8 Qt Air Fryer. It is big enough that you can fit plenty of food in, and the basket comes out so you can easily shake, stir, or flip whatever you are making.
