Ingredients
For the Egg Rolls:
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 1 can 15 ounces corn, drained and rinsed
- 1 can 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup finely diced red onion
- ½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 Jalapeño minced (optional)
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 20 egg roll wrappers
- vegetable oil for frying
For the Lime Crema (double if you like a lot of dip!):
- ½ cup Mexican crema or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- ½ teaspoon chili lime seasoning - I use either TraderJoe’s Chile Lime Seasoning or Tajin
Instructions
- For the Egg Rolls
- In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, corn, black beans, cheddar cheese, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika,onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Add ⅓ cup of filling to each egg roll wrapper and roll them up like a burrito – bring the bottom of the wrapper up to cover the filling and then fold in the sides and roll up from the bottom.
- Brush the top edge of the egg roll wrapper with water to seal in the filling. Repeat until all egg rolls are made.
- Add at least 3” of vegetable oil to a large heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Heat the oil to 365° F, using a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Carefully add a few egg rolls to the oil (make sure not to overcrowd the pan) and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
- Use a strainer or slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining egg rolls.
- Enjoy the egg rolls immediately, with lime crema for dipping.
- For the Lime Crema
- Whisk together the crema, lime juice, lime zest, and chili lime seasoning in a small bowl. Serve immediately or place in the fridge in an airtight container until ready to use.
Notes
- See notes in the post to make these in the air fryer and oven.
