Southwestern Egg Rolls

This post may contain affiliate links, read our disclosure policy.

I’m not sure they really qualify as Southwestern Egg rolls, because they’re not made with eggroll or wonton wrappers. So, maybe it’s more like Mini Southwestern Burritos That Taste Like Heaven?

Southwestern Egg Rolls RecipeThis Southwestern Egg Rolls recipe was inspired by the Southwestern Egg Roll appetizer from Chili’s that my husband loves so much.  I know it’s not at all authentic because I totally use tortillas.  But you’re welcome to use egg roll wrappers!  I just don’t want to.

The “egg rolls” are always a huge hit at parties and got me through several pregnancies because they freeze and reheat amazingly.  They are the absolutely perfect food for when you’re craving something tasty but just don’t have the time or energy to cook from scratch.  This recipe makes 100 (yes, for real!) egg rolls, so make it up, eat them for dinner, then freeze the other eighty and be so glad you did!

Ingredients
 

  • 10 boneless/skinless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
  • 6 bell peppers small diced
  • 1 bundle green onion chopped
  • 3 cans corn drained (15 oz)
  • 3 cans black beans drained and rinsed (15 oz)
  • 20 oz frozen/chopped spinach thawed and drained
  • ½ cup diced jalapenos I used jarred
  • 1/4 cup minced garlic
  • 3 TBS parsley minced (I used dried)
  • 1 TBS ground cumin
  • 1 TBS ground chili powder
  • 1 TBS ground cayenne
  • 100 - 6 " flour tortillas
  • optional: ranch dipping sauce here's my recipe for Simple Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

Instructions

  • Mix together all ingredients except flour tortillas.  Spoon mixture into tortillas and roll like a mini burrito.  You can use a toothpick to secure, but I find that with a little practice, it's not necessary.
  • If you're going to freeze, do so now.  I like to freeze mine overnight on a large baking sheet and then dump them into gallon freezer bags in the morning when they're solid.
  • If you're not freezing, chill for a few minutes to set.
  • Finish on a sandwich press, or griddle (or pan fry) until light golden brown.
  • Cut in half and serve with ranch dressing.

    I don’t care if you call them egg rolls or mini burritos, they’re delicious! Especially tasty dipped in homemade ranch dressing (the only kind of ranch dressing worth eating IMHO). 🙂
