Southwest egg roll?
We went in a couple resturants in San Antonio and they served these egg rolls that had a south west flair... Not a lot of rice and filler... it had chicken, veggies etc... any one have a recipe? I know they get them from a supply place, but there has to be a clone!


RE: Southwest egg roll?
I found this one.

Southwest Egg Roll

2 tsp converted rice (instant rice)
5 oz smoked Spanish chorizo, cooked
10 oz black canned beans, drained
Half onion, diced
Half red pepper, diced
1 fresh jalapeno, minced
Half cup sweet kernel corn
1 garlic clove, minced
6 oz pepperjack cheese, shredded
10 egg roll wrappers (skins)
1 egg, beaten with a tsp water
oil for frying

Creamy cilantro dipping sauce:
10 oz Mexican style tomato sauce
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Half cup sour cream
1 garlic clove chopped

Cook rice according to package directions, using 1 teaspoon salt. Cool completely.

Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink; drain well. Let cool.

Stir together rice, sausage, black beans, and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Spoon about 1/3 cup rice mixture in center of each egg roll wrapper top with cheese about 1 tablespoon. Fold top corner of wrapper over filling, tucking tip of corner under filling; fold left and right corners over filling. Lightly brush remaining corner with egg; tightly roll filled end toward the remaining corner, and gently press to seal.

Pour oil into heavy Dutch oven; heat to 375 degrees F. Fry egg rolls, in batches, 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Drain on wire rack over paper towels. Serve with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce. Garnish, if desired.

Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce: Mix all ingredients in food processor, until smooth.

Note: For a beautiful presentation, cut top from 1 large red bell pepper, reserving top; remove and discard seeds and membrane, leaving pepper intact. Arrange bell pepper on a serving plate, and fill with sauce.

Serves 10

Top Secret Recipes version of Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls
1 chicken breast fillet
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced green onion
1/3 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 tablespoons diced, canned jalapeno peppers
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash cayenne pepper
3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
five 7-inch flour tortillas
Avocado-Ranch Dipping Sauce:
1/4 cup smashed, fresh avocado (about half of an avocado)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
dash dried dill weed
dash garlic powder
dash pepper
Garnish:
2 tablespoons chopped tomato
1 tablespoon chopped onion
Preheat barbecue grill to high heat.
Rub chicken breast with some vegetable oil then grill it on barbecue for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until done. Lightly salt and pepper each side of chicken while it cooks. Set chicken aside until it cools down enough to handle.
Preheat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat. Add red pepper and onion to pan and sauté for a couple minutes until tender.
Dice cooked chicken into small cubes and add it to pan. Add corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeno peppers, parsley, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper to pan. Cook for another 4 minutes; stir well so that spinach separates and is incorporated into mixture. Remove pan from heat and add cheese; stir until cheese is melted.
Wrap tortillas in a moist cloth and microwave on high temperature for 1 1/2 minutes or until hot.
Spoon approximately one-fifth of mixture into center of a tortilla. Fold in ends and then roll tortilla over mixture. Roll tortilla very tight, then pierce with a toothpick to hold together. Repeat with remaining ingredients until you have five eggrolls.
Arrange eggrolls on a plate, cover plate with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
While eggrolls freeze prepare avocado-ranch dipping sauce by combining all of ingredients in a small bowl.
Preheat 4-6 cups of oil to 375 degrees.
Deep fry eggrolls in hot oil for 12-15 minutes and remove to paper towels or a rack to drain for about 2 minutes. Slice each eggroll diagonally lengthwise and arrange on a plate around a small bowl of dipping sauce.
Garnish dipping sauce with chopped tomato and onion.
Serves 3-4.


zillion ingredients
Boy, I thought I made recipes with a lot of ingredients! Both of these include the kitchen sink!


zillion ingreds--
I know! lmbo. Actually, now that I've gotten used to making egg rolls, these don't look too bad, but the sauce ingreds make the list look way longer.

Maybe I'll give 'em a whirl... :)
