A satisfying snack, these Air Fryer Southwest Egg Rolls will fly off the plate! A delicious combination of fresh veggies, tender chicken, and gooey cheese is the perfect filling for these crispy egg rolls.

EQUIPMENT

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowls

INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 lb cooked boneless skinless chicken, diced or shredded
  • 1/3 cup corn, fresh or frozen
  • 1/3 cup bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup green onion, finely sliced
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cup Mexican blend cheese, grated
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 pkg egg roll wrappers
  • oil spray

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, corn, bell pepper, green onion, black beans, spinach, and cheese.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, garlic powder, salt, cumin, paprika, and onion powder.
  • Add the spice mixture to the chicken mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Next to a cutting board or clean surface, place a small bowl of water to seal the egg rolls.
  • Place an egg roll wrapper on the cutting board with one of the corners pointing toward you. Using a ⅓ cup measure, pour filling across the middle of the egg roll wrapper. To wrap, lay the bottom corner over the filling, slightly tucking the corner under the filling. Then fold the sides over the middle. Over the remaining part of the wrapper, brush the edge with water and fold it tight over the rest of the egg roll.
  • Spray the basket, then the top and sides of each egg roll with oil spray.
  • Place the egg rolls into the air fryer top-side down, then spray the top of the egg rolls (all sides should be covered with oil spray now).
  • Bake at 375°F for 5 minutes, flip the rolls, then bake for 5 minutes.
  • Baking Southwest Egg Rolls in the Oven: Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F and place all of the uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crispy. I recommend flipping them after 10 minutes to help all sides get crispy.

NOTES

Helpful Hints:

  • You may have to cook these egg rolls in batches. They shouldn’t be touching in the basket. 
  • Try adding chopped jalapeños to the filling if you want to add some spice.
  • As you wrap your egg rolls, cover the wrapped ones so they don’t dry out.
