Tips for making the best southwestern egg rolls.

Chicken breast was used in making my egg rolls. You can use the chicken of your choice.

More helpful tips for you.

1. You could use already cooked chicken and save some time making this recipe. Think leftovers or grocery store rotisserie chicken for example.
2. Instead of chicken, this recipe could also taste good with shrimp, browned meat, or fish.
3. Make this recipe vegetarian by skipping the protein (chicken) altogether.
4. For extra crispy egg rolls simply lightly brush or spray the outside of each roll with oil before air frying.
5. If you have trouble sealing your egg rolls, use a wet finger to seal the edges securely. Leaky seams usually lead to fillings escaping.
6. Avoid overstuffing your egg rolls as doing so can force the eggrolls to burst open. You should use about 2-3 tablespoons per roll, leaving space for you to fold and seal neatly.

How to make homemade southwestern style egg rolls.

Prep Time: 15 minutes.
Cook Time: 20 minutes for both the chicken and the egg rolls .
Servings: 8 .

1. Start by cooking the diced chicken using your choice of method. If you are using a stovetop, in a large skillet with oil cook the chicken on medium heat until browned, stirring as needed (about 10 minutes).
2. Once the chicken has browned, you can carefully stir in the seasoning, corn, beans, chopped pepper, and onion. Cook this mixture for five minutes, stirring and flipping the ingredients while cooking. Then remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cheese.
3. To prepare the wrappers, place the first wrapper on a clean flat surface, such as a cutting board, so that it resembles a diamond shape. Use your finger or a pastry brush to wet the edges of the wrapper. Then add about two tablespoons of the mixture from the skillet in the center of the wrapper.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 320.
5. To fold up the wrapper, start by folding in the right and left corners of the wrapper. Then fold down the top corner and continue to roll roll the wrapper closed. You can add a dab of water to help seal the wrapper closed.
6. Spray the wrappers with oil and then place them into the air fryer basket, leaving room between egg rolls for the air to circulate.
7. Air fry the egg rolls for six minutes and then flip them over and cook for two minutes or until crisp.
8. Allow the egg rolls to cool before serving.

Expert Tip👉 Leave plenty of room between egg rolls in your air fryer basket so that the air can circulate. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket you may need to make this recipe in batches.
