Southwestern Eggrolls

Directions

  1. 1To our blender cup add 4 ounces of cream cheese, half a cup of cilantro, 1/4 of a cup of sour cream, 1 avocado, 1 garlic clove, the juice of half a lime, 1/4 of a cup of water, 1/2 a teaspoon of onion powder and 1/2 a teaspoon of salt.
  2. 2Now we're just going to be blending until smooth.
  3. 3Once we have that, we're just going to transfer it to our bowl.
  4. 4Now we're just going to refrigerate it until it's time to enjoy it.
  5. 5To make our filling, on our pan over medium high heat we're going to heat up a little bit of oil.
  6. 6Once the oil is nice and hot, I'm going to add our chicken. Just make sure to cut it into small little cubes.
  7. 7To that, add all of our spices.
  8. 8Now, mix it and allow it to cook for 3 minutes.
  9. 9After 3 minutes, our chicken should be fully cooked. Of course, make sure that you check it.
  10. 10Here, we're just going to remove it from the heat.
  11. 11Now, to the pan we're going to add a little bit more oil.
  12. 12Now add the onion along with the bell pepper and jalapeño and sauté it for a couple of minutes.
  13. 13After a couple of minutes, add the tomato, cilantro, minced garlic and chipotle.
  14. 14Mix it and allow it to cook for 1 minute.
  15. 15After the minute, add the Southwestern corn, beans. Mix it together and allow it to cook for another minute.
  16. 16Lastly, we're going to return our cooked chicken to our pan.
  17. 17Now just mix it all together.
  18. 18Now, we're just going to turn it off and allow our filling to cool down.
  19. 19And once our filling has cooled down, we can now get ready to wrap our egg rolls.
  20. 20I'm going to begin by getting my egg roll wrapper.
  21. 21I'm going to be adding some cheese and on top of that, we're going to grab our filling.
  22. 22Now, I'm going to grab some water, run it on the edges of my wrapper.
  23. 23Now we grab the ends. Close it to form an envelope. Make sure that you seal the edges.
  24. 24Now grab one side and begin to close it.
  25. 25Once we get to the end, we're just going to add more water.
  26. 26And we repeat the process with the rest of our egg rolls.
  27. 27Once we have our egg rolls all nice and wrapped, now we can get ready to fry them.
  28. 28Here I have my oil set over medium heat. We're just going to allow it to get nice and hot.
  29. 29Once the oil is nice and hot, we're going to carefully place our egg rolls and just allow them to get nice and golden.
  30. 30Once our egg rolls are nice and golden all around, I'm going to remove them from our oil.
  31. 31And just repeat the process with the rest of our egg rolls.
  32. 32Once we have our egg rolls, we can now get ready to enjoy it.
