Mexican Egg Rolls

...and a giveaway! Stick around for that.

I have made Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls and they were a hit. So I knew I wanted to try these Mexican Egg Rolls the second I saw the recipe. I may have had 3. They are not spicy at all, but you could add a kick by using jalepenos if you want. Try garnishing them with avocados and sour cream for a fresh taste.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. oil

1/2 C. onion, finely chopped

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

4-oz. can chopped green chiles

1/2 C. chicken broth

1/2 tsp. garlic, minced

salt and pepper to taste

12 egg roll wrappers

1 C. shredded cheddar cheese

oil for deep frying

Garnish: guacamole, salsa, sour cream

Directions

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 
• Saute onion in oil until translucent.
• Add chicken, chiles, broth, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Simmer until mixture thickens and most of the liquid cooks out.
• Divide mixture evenly among egg roll wrappers.
• Top each with some cheese.
• Wet all 4 edges of the wrapper and roll up, egg roll style.
• Heat enough oil to cover egg rolls in a fryer or skillet on medium-high heat. 
• Fry rolls a few at a time until golden on all sides.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Serve with garnish. Serves 4-6.

My Notes: I used a 13 oz. can of shredded chicken from Costco instead of 2 chicken breasts. I also filled them a little fuller and got 7 egg rolls instead of 12.
