This is a copycat version for Chili's southwestern Egg Rolls. I just adore these egg rolls and I have made a meal out of them (Oink!). they're just SO good. I've recently started making egg rolls and you know what? Read more They're a bit time consuming, but they're not hard to make at all. The key is to let your oil heat back up in between batches, so you don't have limp egg rolls sitting around soaking up less-than-hot oil. Prep time includes some freezing time, 4 hours. This is the same Chili's Egg Roll recipe that's floating all over the internet. I haven't made these yet, but I'm going to very soon. See less

How to make it
- Sprinkle chicken breast with salt and pepper and grill 4-5 minutes per side, or until done;set aside, when cool, dice the chicken.
- Saute red pepper and onion in 1 TB oil until soft, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the pan.
- Add corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeno peppers, parsley, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper to pan.
- Cook for 4 minutes, distributing spinach evenly.
- Remove from heat and add the cheese; stir until cheese melts.
- Wrap tortillas in a moist cloth and microwave on high temperature for 1 1/2 minutes or until hot.
- Working on a flat surface, divide the filling evenly among the tortillas, spooning the filling into the center of each.
- Fold in the ends of the tortilla, then roll up the side closest to you--be sure to roll tightly.
- Set aside, with the fold side down.
- Put the egg rolls on a plate, cover and freeze from 4 hours to 24 hours.
- Preheat 4-6 cups of oil to 375 degrees. (using an electric skillet is a great way to do this, because you can control the temp of the oil better.)
- Fry the egg rolls for 12-15 minutes and and drain on paper towels or a rack.
- To make the dipping sauce, just combine all of the sauce ingredients and mix in a bowl, then garnish with the chopped tomato and onion.
- For presentation, slice each egg roll on the diagonal and place them around the bowl of dipping sauce.
