Description

Air Fryer Southwest Egg Rolls are crispy, flavorful rolls stuffed with seasoned chicken, black beans, corn, and cheese. These make a perfect appetizer or snack, and are healthier than traditional fried egg rolls thanks to the air fryer.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • Olive oil spray (for spraying the egg rolls)
  • Sour cream or salsa (for dipping, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, cheddar cheese, green onions, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  2. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling mixture into the center of each tortilla.
  3. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly like a burrito, securing the filling inside.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Lightly spray the egg rolls with olive oil spray to ensure they crisp up in the air fryer.
  6. Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  7. Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving with sour cream or salsa for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • If you want to add some heat, you can include diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper in the filling mixture.
  • Feel free to swap out the chicken for ground beef, turkey, or even a vegetarian version with black beans and vegetables.
  • If you’re making these ahead of time, you can freeze the unbaked egg rolls and air fry them straight from the freezer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
