Ingredients
1
lb.
chicken
cooked & diced (I used a rotisserie chicken)
3
Tablespoons
taco seasoning
3
Tablespoons
water
1
can
black beans
drained & rinsed
1
can
organic corn kernels
drained
1
red bell pepper
diced
1
jalapeno
seeded and minced
¼
cup
cilantro
chopped
1
cup
Monterey Jack cheese
shredded
1
cup
sharp Cheddar Cheese
shredded
2
packages
egg roll wrappers
Nonstick cooking spray
Garnish: green onions
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss chicken with taco seasoning that's been mixed with water.
Combine chicken and next 7 ingredients. Stir well.
Take an egg roll wrapper out of package and lay in front of you, with one of the corners facing you. It should look like a lopsided diamond.
Place 3 Tablespoons of the chicken-bean mixture on the egg roll wrapper just slightly below the center.
Take corner that is closest to you and roll over filling. Pull it tight against filling.
Moisten the edges of the two corners to the right and left then fold over towards center and pat into place.
Now continue to roll it up, moistening top corner so the roll adheres together in a little egg roll bundle.
Continue with remaining egg roll wrappers.
These can be made ahead and stored in refrigerator. Make sure they are covered well with plastic wrap so they stay soft and fresh.
When ready to air fry, take out of refrigerator and let sit on counter for about 30 minutes to bring closer to room temperature.
Determine how many egg rolls your air fryer will hold loosely. You want them with a little space between them so that the air can flow around them.
Spray the egg rolls you are about to cook on all sides with nonstick spray. I used Pam.
Place in air fryer basket and cook at 390 degrees for a total of 9 minutes.
At the 5 minute mark, check to see if they are nice and toasty looking. Mine were ready to turn at this stage. Turn with tongs.
Place basket back into air fryer and fry another 4 minutes. Again, you can check prior to this time to make sure they are not getting overdone.
Remove and serve hot with sour cream, salsa and guacamole.
Notes
Don't need 42 egg rolls? Make what you want and freeze the remaining filling to use another time.
