SOUTHWESTERN EGG ROLLS

Addicting Southwestern Egg rolls. People ask me to make these all the time when we are having a get together. I make a double batch at least and freeze any extra if there are ever any. I do not always freeze the egg rolls before I fry them. I serve them with Bennigan's pineapple dipping sauce.

  • To prevent the egg rolls from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot before adding them. You can also use a non-stick pan or spray the pan with cooking spray.
  • Cook the egg rolls in batches so that they don't crowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Serve the egg rolls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. They are also delicious served with a side of rice or salad.
