Time 1h

Yield 8 egg rolls

Number Of Ingredients 25

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 large avocado, halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Half red bell pepper, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/4 cup packed chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
6 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup drained pickled jalapenos, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Canola oil, for frying
Eight 8-inch flour tortillas

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, granulated garlic, onion powder, avocado, 2 tablespoons water, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the dill and parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. The texture should be similar to ranch salad dressing. (If the sauce is very thick, thin it out with 1 to 2 tablespoons of additional water.) Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the egg rolls: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until deep grill marks appear, about 8 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until deep grill marks appear and the internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F, about 8 minutes more. Remove to a cutting board, allow to cool slightly and cut into small pieces.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the beans, corn, spinach, cumin, chipotle powder, cayenne, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables and beans are coated in the spices and warmed through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and fold in the chicken, pickled jalapenos, parsley and scallions. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
  • Stack the tortillas on a large microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave until just warmed though. (This will make the tortillas easier to roll.) Put a warm tortilla on a clean, flat surface (keep the remaining tortillas covered with the damp paper towels) and put 1/2 cup of the filling in the center. Spread the filling out into a 4 1/2-inch long log. Tightly fold the bottom of the tortilla (the part that is closest to you) over the filling, fold both ends over then roll the tortilla so that the filling is completely enclosed. Seal the seam of the tortilla with 3 toothpicks. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, filling and toothpicks.
  • Meanwhile, attach a deep-fat fry thermometer to the side of a large Dutch oven or pot, fill halfway with oil and heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Fry the egg rolls in 2 batches until golden brown all over, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the toothpicks from the egg rolls, cut on an extreme bias and transfer to a large platter. Serve with the avocado dipping sauce.

SPICY SOUTHWEST EGG ROLLS



Spicy Southwest Egg Rolls image

I started out making a southwest eggroll recipe that's on Zaar, but I left out a lot and added a lot and basically changed the whole thing, so here's my version :) *Note: I bake these, but they certainly could be fried in oil also.

Provided by newspapergal

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 chicken breasts
1/4 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 small onion, finely diced
2 jalapenos, finely diced
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
1/3 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
15 egg roll wraps

Steps:

  • Add 1 Tbsp vegetable oil to small skillet; preheat to medium-low. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder & salt.
  • Rub seasonings mixture onto both sides of both chicken breasts; add chicken breasts to small skillet and cook 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness of your breast - until done, turning at least once.
  • While chicken is cooking, dice your vegetables.
  • Once chicken is done, remove from heat; set aside.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in large skillet; add diced red bell pepper, diced onion, minced garlic cloves and jalapenos to oil; saute until veggies are soft.
  • Once chicken is cool enough to handle, slice into small cubes and add to vegetable mixture.
  • Stir in frozen corn and black beans; mix thoroughly. Add cayenne now if you want.
  • Turn heat to low, and slowly add cheese. Once cheese has melted, remove skillet from heat.
  • To assemble eggrolls:.
  • Place eggroll wrappers so that the points are facing north/south. Place about 1 1/2 Tbsp of chicken/veggie mixture into center of wrapper. Spread it out log-shaped from side to side, leaving about 1 inch of the wrapper on each side.
  • Fold bottom point over mixture, then fold in each side. Then roll eggroll up remaining wrapper. I usually seal the final point with a brush of water.
  • Repeat with each eggroll wrapper.
  • When all the eggrolls are wrapped, freeze in a single layer for at least 4 hours and up to 2 months.
  • To cook, place frozen eggrolls on a cookie sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for 13-16 minutes.
  • I like to dip these in a spicy avocado sauce or salsa.
