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.
