  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 16 egg rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked corn kernels
  • 1 cup cooked black beans
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 16 egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine corn, black beans, cheese, peppers, cilantro, cumin, and chili powder.
  2. Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near one corner.
  3. Fold the corner over the filling, then roll tightly, folding in edges to seal.
  4. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Deep fry egg rolls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with salsa or sour cream.

Notes

  • Ensure the filling mixture is well combined for even flavor.
  • Seal the edges with a little water or beaten egg to prevent opening during frying.
  • Can be baked at 400°F (200°C) on a baking sheet for a healthier option, about 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
