Instructions
Creating your own Chili’s Southwest Eggrolls at home can be simple. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, green onions, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. Prepare Work Surface: Spread out the eggroll wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Ensure they are positioned diagonally so they resemble a diamond shape.
3. Fill the Eggrolls: Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Avoid overfilling to prevent spills.
4. Roll the Eggrolls: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the sides towards the center, and roll tightly to enclose. Wet the top corner with water to seal.
5. Heat Oil: In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. You’ll want enough oil to fry the eggrolls without them sinking.
6. Fry the Eggrolls: Carefully add the eggrolls to the hot oil in batches, frying no more than 4-5 at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Transfer the cooked eggrolls to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
8. Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining eggrolls until all are fried and perfectly crispy.
9. Serve Hot: Allow the eggrolls to cool slightly before serving, offering your favorite dipping sauces on the side.
