These Chili’s Southwest Eggrolls are crispy on the outside and packed with cheesy, spicy, Tex-Mex goodness on the inside. Made with chicken, beans, corn, spinach, and spices, they’re a perfect homemade take on the restaurant favorite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
  • 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 10–12 eggroll wrappers
  • Oil for frying or cooking spray (for baking/air frying)
  • Avocado ranch or creamy cilantro sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together chicken, spinach, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, green onions, cheese, and spices until well combined.
  2. Place an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling into the center.
  3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with water.
  4. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. To fry: Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry eggrolls in batches for 3–4 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels.
  6. To bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray eggrolls lightly with oil and bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  7. To air fry: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  8. Serve hot with dipping sauce of choice.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken as a quick and flavorful shortcut.
  • Add chopped jalapeños or chipotle powder for heat.
  • Make them vegetarian by omitting chicken and adding more beans and veggies.
  • Freeze uncooked eggrolls and bake or fry straight from frozen.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
