Baked Southwest Egg Rolls Recipe

If I’m at Chili’s I usually order their Baked Southwest Egg Rolls as my meal (I’m not even joking – you can ask my husband. hahaha).

I am not always the biggest egg roll fan. I mean, I will eat them if they are in front of me, but I won’t specifically order them – UNLESS I’m at Chili’s.

They are amazing fried, just like they serve them at the restaurant, but I try to avoid frying my foods at home (probably because I hate having my whole house smell like what we ate for dinner).

I came across this recipe for Baked Southwest Egg Rolls – and they were right up to par. Plus, you cut down on calories by cutting out the frying! They perfect for an appetizer, or for your main dish.

Mexican food lover or not, these will not disappoint.

TOP THEM OFF:

I love these egg rolls as they are, but I also love topping them off with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, etc. We also love putting on fresh vegetables, such as olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, banana peppers, etc.

You can easily make these your now, by adding your favorites as well. My kid love dipping them in ketchup.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons green onion minced
  • 2 Tablespoons red bell pepper minced
  • ⅓ cup frozen corn
  • ¼ cup canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 Tablespoons frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
  • 2 Tablespoons jalapeno peppers (diced – remove seeds for less heat)
  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and diced)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • pinch cayenne pepper
  • ¾ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 egg roll wrappers

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add green onion and red bell pepper and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until soft.
  • Add corn, black beans, spinach and jalapeño peppers and cook until heated through.
  • Add the chicken, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the cheese.
  • Place egg roll wrapper on a flat, clean surface with a corner facing you, and add about 1/4 cup of filling to the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the corner facing you over the filling, tuck in the sides, and finish rolling.
  • Place egg rolls on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Spray the tops of egg rolls with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Notes

  • If you are thinking of using this as an appetizer, it was taking into consideration 1 egg roll per person. It makes about 6 egg rolls. So if you want if for a meal and you can eat 3, then this would be 2 servings.

    Do you think these would still be good if you make them up until you cook the final product and froze them?

    I think it would work great to freeze. Then thaw and reheat when ready to use.

    Great recipe!! .......I always order these at Chili's as well ........I actually used the ingredients to make into quesadillas ......much easier ......and substituted cilantro for spinach and red onion instead of green.

    I made these for dinner tonight, they were so good! My family loved them as well, thank you for the recipe. I just have 1 question, it says it serves 6, how many egg roll wrappers do you use? Thanks again!

    I was wondering this very thing. How many eggrolls are considered one serving?

    Not a review, as I haven't made them yet. My question is this..Are your nutritional facts for the entire recipe, or per serving?
  19. Momma Cyd says:
    January 17, 2022
    They are per serving.

    What about the air fryer for these?
  21. Momma Cyd says:

    You can convert most oven baked recipes to the air fryer. Here is what I was able to find for you - Conventional Oven to Air Fryer Conversion To convert an oven-cooked recipe to an air-fryer one, a general rule of thumb is to reduce the suggested temperature by 25°F and then cut the cook time by about 20%. Just use the pause button on your machine to occasionally check the doneness and flip for balanced crispness on all sides.
