The Super Bowl is fast approaching and I wanted to share a recipe that can be cut into bite-sized pieces and shared amongst a large crowd. Yes, eggrolls can definitely be cut into 2-3 pieces without falling apart. So let’s talk about these chicken avocado eggrolls. My mom used to take my brother and me to this chain restaurant when we were kids that served these delicious “Southwestern Eggrolls”.
I went to this restaurant a couple of months ago to have margaritas with a friend and we ordered egg rolls and chicken wings and boy did it bring back childhood memories. The egg rolls, not the booze of course. Although I don’t really care for their main entrees, their southwestern egg rolls are so so good. The only difference with these is that I used egg roll wrappers and I believe they use flour tortillas.
I just thought using egg roll wrappers would give them a crunchier exterior and I was right. These took about 25-30 minutes to make and I served them with buttermilk ranch. I promise that these taste just as good as the southwestern rolls if not better because they’re crispier.
These are the ingredients you’ll need. As you can see, all very yummy 🙂
Don’t be stingy with the seasoning. Season the chicken on both sides.
You may grill or fry the chicken.
All white meat
Taste and check for seasoning, you may even add a little hot sauce just make sure that the mixture is on the drier side so it doesn’t leak while it fries.
Easy
Voila…
