This Easy Southwestern Egg Rollsrecipe are a delicious appetizeror snack with a generous filling of avocado, black beans, corn, and pepper jack cheese.

Disclosure: This is sponsored recipe for Wholly Guacamole

I realize we’re all planning and preparing for Easter this week (I am too — so excited for Sunday), but injust over two weeks, my most favorite of foodie holidays will be HERE!

What could it be? Well, let’s just say that guacamole is best friends with this holiday. It’s Cinco de Mayo! The #15MinuteSuppers bloggers and I are here to get you ready foryour festive foodie holiday with lots of easy Cinco de Mayo recipes (see the end of this post for all the links).

One of the things that makes my Southwestern Egg Rolls so easy is that I used the Wholly Avocado, which is 100% avocado. There was no avocado to open, no seed to remove…just open the package and you are ready to go. I can see this being particularly helpful to those of you who like avocado, but find the whole opening of one a pain. Plus, you don’t have to rely on your store having ripe avocados — just pick up a package of this and your almost halfway there.

The filling of the Southwestern Egg Rolls consists of the Wholly Avocado, pepper jack cheese, and a mixture of black beans and corn that have been spiced up a bit.

All this is layered and rolled up in an egg roll wrapper. Then, it’s fried in oil to crispy perfection. I know you might want to ask me if these can be baked and the answer is yes, but I don’t prefer to. I don’t fry a lot of foods, but there is a few things I insist on frying and this is one of them.

I suppose I should add a little disclaimer: this isn’t “real” Mexican food. I’m not even completely sure it’s totally Southwestern. Eh, could be…depends on who you ask. I do know it’s certainly not an egg roll— just made in an egg roll wrapper.But let’s just go with it all and make our bellies happy.Easy Southwestern Egg Rolls Recipe (6)

While these really don’t need extra condiments for dipping, I still like to have something to dip them in.We generally have sour cream or maybe even ranch dressing. But this time, I decided to use the Wholly Salsa. It’s so, so good and was a great choice.

Here’s the complete recipe, ready for you to print! Not ready for it yet? Be sure to save it to one of your pinterest boards.

FAQs

What Is An Egg Roll? An egg roll is a fried appetizer that's found on countless Chinese-American restaurant menus. It consists of a thick, crispy wheat flour skin filled with shredded cabbage, pork, and other ingredients. Egg rolls are fried in hot oil, served warm, and usually dipped in duck sauce or soy sauce.

According to Coe, Low's recipe, printed in a 1938 cookbook, Cook at Home in Chinese, included "bamboo shoots, roast pork, shrimp, scallions, water chestnuts, salt, MSG, sugar, palm oil, and pepper," but notably did not include cabbage, which is the main filling ingredient in modern egg rolls.

What is best to seal egg rolls? ›

THE WRAPPERS

You will want a package with 18 egg roll wrappers. Many come in a 20 count, so you should be good to go. Cornstarch slurry: to seal the wrappers, you will need 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with water. This “glues” the wrappers closed much more effectively than just water or an egg wash.

What oil is best for frying egg rolls? ›

Peanut oil is great for frying egg rolls as it has a high smoking point and provides a nutty flavor. If you don't have it on hand, you can use canola or corn oil. Do not use oils like sesame oil or olive oil, as they are not good candidates for deep-frying due to their low smoking point.

What is the pink stuff in egg rolls? ›

You MUST use ground pork--do not use ground beef or chicken or the weird pink stuff that is ground turkey. Just trust me on this. Also, make sure not to overstuff the egg rolls with filling--this was always my problem growing up because I wanted them to be thick.

Show Me More ›
Should I refrigerate egg rolls before frying? ›

Thaw uncooked egg rolls in the bag in the refrigerator before deep-frying. If you've already fried your egg rolls, wait until they have cooled before freezing!

How do you keep eggrolls crispy after frying? ›

Cool your rolls on a wire rack instead of a paper towel or plate. Regardless of whether you air fried, deep-fried, or baked your egg rolls, do not let them cool on a paper towel or plate. Instead, use a pair of tongs to set the egg rolls on a raised cooling rack with a baking sheet underneath it.

Discover More ›
Can you prep egg rolls the day before? ›

Make-ahead: Egg rolls are great because they can be made in advance. You can make the filling in advance and assemble when you are ready to fry them. But if you need to roll them more than a day in advance, I recommend freezing them.

Why do egg rolls not have eggs in them? ›

Contrary to popular belief, the egg isn't necessary to make an egg roll, even though it does have it in its name. The traditional egg roll recipe uses egg in the dough, but most recipes don't call for it anymore; modern egg rolls are usually made up of mixed meat and vegetables wrapped in a rice paper wrapper.

What are egg roll sheets made of? ›

Unlike spring rolls, egg rolls are made with thick, doughy wrappers made with wheat flour and eggs. They blister up and become pocketed with delightful, oil-filled bubbles when deep-fried, making them simultaneously crunchy and chewy.
