Description
These Tex-Mex Egg Rolls are a crispy, flavor-packed delight inspired by the Cheesecake Factory classic. Loaded with chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, and bold spices, they make the perfect appetizer, game day snack, or fun dinner treat. Serve with a creamy avocado sauce for an irresistible bite!
Ingredients
For the egg rolls: cooked chicken (shredded or diced), black beans (drained and rinsed), corn kernels, shredded Mexican blend cheese, diced jalapeños (optional for heat), chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt & pepper, egg roll wrappers, oil for frying.
For the dipping sauce: store bought creamy avocado sauce.
Instructions
- Create the Flavorful Filling – In a large bowl, mix cooked chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, jalapeños, and spices until evenly combined.
- Assemble with Care – Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Add 2 tablespoons of filling to the lower half. Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and seal the edges with a dab of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Fry to Crispy Perfection – Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain excess oil on a paper towel. (For a lighter option, brush with oil and air-fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.)
- Serve and Savor – Slice egg rolls diagonally and serve with creamy avocado sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crunch, double-wrap each egg roll.
- Swap chicken for shredded beef, tofu, or sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in an air fryer or oven for best results.
Enjoy these crispy Tex-Mex Egg Rolls, bursting with flavor and perfect for any occasion!
