Tex-Mex Inspired Egg Rolls
Recreate the iconic Tex-Mex Inspired Egg Rolls from Cheesecake Factory at home! Crispy, flavor-packed, and served with a creamy storebought avocado sauce for dipping.
Servings 12 egg rolls
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
- 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tbsp diced jalapeños optional for heat
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
For the Sauce:
- Storebought creamy avocado sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Filling
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, jalapeños, and spices. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the lower half of the wrapper. Fold in the sides, then roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with a little water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
Step 3: Fry Until Golden & Crispy
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Fry the egg rolls in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. (For an air-fryer version, brush with oil and cook at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.)
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
- Slice the egg rolls diagonally and serve with the storebought creamy avocado sauce for dipping. These are perfect as an appetizer, game day snack, or even a fun dinner option!
