    These chicken avocado egg rolls make for the perfect appetizer or game-day finger food.

     

    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.

     

    All the ingredients you need for these chicken avocado egg rolls.

    These are the ingredients you’ll need. As you can see, all very yummy 🙂

    Step one is to season the chicken breasts before cooking.

    Don’t be stingy with the seasoning. Season the chicken on both sides.

    Grill or pan-fry the chicken breasts until cooked through.

    You may grill or fry the chicken.

    Cubed the grilled chicken into bite sized pieces.

    All white meat

    Mix the cubed chicken in with the beans, corn, pepper and more spices. Don't overcook or the chicken will become dry.

    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.

    Spoon the chicken mixture onto a wonton wrapper with a slice of cheese and a few avocado chunks.

    Easy

    Wrap the wonton wrappers and seal with a little water.

    Voila…

    Serve these chicken avocado egg rolls with some ranch dipping sauce and lime wedges.
