Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or finely diced
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons Southwest seasoning blend
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 12 eggroll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying (or cooking spray for air frying/baking)
- For Honey-Lime Dipping Sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Pinch of salt
- For Ranch Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup prepared ranch dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and cook until softened (5-7 minutes). Stir in cooked chicken, black beans, corn, and Southwest seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors. Remove from heat, stir in Monterey Jack cheese and cilantro. Let cool slightly.
- Assemble Eggrolls: Lay an eggroll wrapper like a diamond. Place 2-3 tablespoons of cooled filling just below the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tucking tightly. Fold in left and right corners. Roll tightly upwards, sealing the top corner with water or egg wash.
- Cook Eggrolls (Choose your method):
- Frying: Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry 2-3 eggrolls at a time for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a wire rack.
- Air Frying: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray eggrolls with cooking spray. Air fry for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush eggrolls with oil. Bake on parchment-lined sheet for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden.
- Prepare Dipping Sauces: Whisk honey, lime juice, and salt for the Honey-Lime sauce. Pour ranch dressing into a separate bowl.
- Serve: Serve warm Chili’s Southwest Eggrolls immediately with both dipping sauces.
