Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your homemade Chili’s Southwest Eggrolls:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, green onions, shredded cheese, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
2. Set Up Your Work Area: Lay out your eggroll wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Keep a small bowl of water nearby to seal the wrappers.
3. Fill the Wrappers: Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each eggroll wrapper.
4. Roll the Eggrolls: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly from the bottom to the top, sealing by wetting the top corner with water.
5. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or a deep fryer, heat oil over medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C).
6. Cook the Eggrolls: Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few eggrolls in the oil at a time. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the cooked eggrolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Repeat: Continue frying the remaining eggrolls in batches.
With these straightforward steps, you’ll have a delicious batch of Chili’s Southwest Eggrolls ready to serve!
