Ingredients
- Egg roll wrappers
- Shredded rotisserie chicken
- Black beans
- Corn kernels
- Diced bell peppers
- Cumin and chili powder
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Cooking oil
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, black beans, corn, bell peppers, cumin, chili powder, and cheese until well combined.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Place a wrapper on a clean surface; add 2 tablespoons of filling at the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck it in tightly, fold in side corners, and roll tightly upwards.
- Heat the oil: In a skillet over medium-high heat, pour enough oil to submerge half of an egg roll (about 2 inches). Heat until shimmering.
- Fry: Add 2-3 egg rolls to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Use tongs to flip halfway through.
- Drain and serve: Transfer cooked egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
