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.

- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

- 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.

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.
