Chili’s Southwest Eggrolls with Awesome Sauce

If I dated a Mexican and we had a child, it would be this: Southwest Egg Rolls. Yes I’m implying my offspring will be food… Weird…This was a great request from a fan. These things were easy to make and absolutely delicious.

  1. Make awesome sauce by combining ingredients listed above for Awesome Sauce. It is really awesome.

  2. Chop up enough Red Green Peppers to amount to ¼ Cup each.

  3. Finely chop 1 Jalapeño Pepper. Should amount to roughly ¼ Cup. More or less depending on your desire for spice and heat.

  4. Chop up half a large (white or sweet) onion, should be enough to amount to a ½ Cup.

  5. Mince 1 Tsp of garlic, or use garlic powder / garlic paste. Not necessary, but I always cook with garlic so whatever.

  6. Grill and chop up one large chicken breast. Should amount to at least 1 Cup.

  7. Cook down your peppers & onions first with some Olive Oil in the pan first until soft & translucent. Approximately 5 minutes.

  8. Once your vegetables are cooked down, we can now throw in our chicken, corn, black beans & chopped tomatoes.

  9. Add your seasonings and stir thoroughly to incorporate all the spices.

  10. Bring to a boil then remove from heat, add in your cheese and stir until completely blended.

  11. Now that our mixture is complete we simply fill our wontons with the mixture. I use about 1-2 Tbsp per wrapper.

  12. I also added in 1 Tsp of Guacamole, because I love guacamole and I feel like it needs it. You don't have to do anything I'm doing here, this is just something I'm sharing. These types of meals I feel like you can put whatever spin you like on to it, but if you have no clue what you are doing, then I suggest going to Taco Bell or Chili's for dinner.

  13. The mixture I made with the quantities specified should be able to make you 12 full egg rolls. The servings say 6, which is basically 3 full egg rolls. Once you cut them in half they now become two pieces. Plus I'm comparing with Chili's Nutrition Facts and they give you 3 full egg rolls, but make it look like 6 because they cut them in half.

  14. Once all of your egg rolls have been wrapped, for best results, freeze them for at least four hours.

  15. Deep fry at 365°F for 5 minutes or until golden brown. You can use Olive Oil, but I recommend Vegetable Oil.

  16. Let your egg rolls drain on a wire rack and once they have cooled down a bit cut them at an angle and they will look nicer.

  17. Plate with lettuce and dipping sauce. Enjoy
