Southwest Egg Rolls Made Lighter image

Inspired by my favorite appetizer at the Chili's restaurant chain but these are baked,not fried. Two full egg rolls per person makes a nice dinner for T.V. night. For a dinner party you can also cut them in thick slices sushi-style. These can be frozen before they're cooked or afterwards.

Time 24m

Yield 20 Southwestern Eggroll Halves, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

10 fresh flour tortillas (seven inch-usually 10 come in a package)
non-fat cooking spray
1 avocado, mashed (about one cup)
1 tablespoon key lime juice
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
3/4 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup nonfat milk
2 cups cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, finely diced (if you're pressed for time,one 10 oz pkg of Perdue Short Cuts carved chicken breast is perfect)
2 cups jalapeno jack cheese (one 8 oz block shredded-if your store has reduced fat that's even better)
1/3 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry or 3 cups chopped fresh spinach
1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
2/3 cup canned Mexican-style corn, drained (such as Del Monte Whole Kernel Fiesta Corn,seasoned with red and green peppers)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Combine all Dipping Sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth; refrigerate.
  • Combine all Eggroll Filling ingredients in a bowl.
  • Turn on the broiler.
  • Assemble 10 eggrolls: spoon a half cup of the mixture into the center of each tortilla; fold in the ends and then roll the tortilla over the mixture very tightly. Hold together with two toothpicks, one through each end.
  • Spray a lasagna-type pan with non-fat cooking spray. Spray both sides of the egg rolls with cooking spray as you place them in the pan. You may brush them with olive oil if you prefer.
  • Broil for approximately one and a half to two minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Watch very carefully. Do not leave the oven unattended because they cook quickly.
  • Remove from pan and slice each eggroll in half.
  • Take out the toothpicks and serve with chilled dipping sauce.

These egg rolls were easy to make and turned out delicious. I served them with a sweet and sour sauce and they were a hit.

These egg rolls were good, but not great. I thought the filling was a little dry.

These egg rolls were a little bland for me. I added some extra spices to the filling and they were much better.

I'm not a fan of egg rolls, but these were really good. The filling was flavorful and the wrappers were crispy.

I made these egg rolls with ground turkey instead of pork and they were still delicious. I also added some chopped cabbage to the filling for extra crunch.

These egg rolls were easy to make and turned out great. I used wonton wrappers instead of egg roll wrappers and they worked perfectly.

I'm not a big fan of egg rolls, but these were really good. The filling was moist and flavorful, and the wrappers were crispy. I'll definitely be making these again.
