Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound chorizo
  • 1 cup chipotle beans, drained
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels, drained or fresh
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded
  • Spices to taste (e.g., salt, pepper, chili powder)

Assembly Ingredients

  • 12 eggroll wrappers
  • Water, for sealing wrappers

Frying

  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Sauté chopped onion and garlic in a hot skillet until fragrant and softened. Add the chorizo and cook through, allowing its oils to infuse the pan. Stir in chipotle beans, drained corn kernels, and spices; warm evenly. Remove from heat and mix in fresh cilantro and shredded cheese until melted and combined.
  2. Assemble the Eggrolls: Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon a generous amount of filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides snugly. Roll up tightly and seal the top corner with a bit of water. Repeat until all filling is used.
  3. Fry Until Golden Brown: Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the eggrolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crunchy on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  4. Serve Warm: Serve the eggrolls hot with your favorite dips such as salsa, guacamole, or a zesty crema for an unforgettable snack.

Notes

  • Pre-cook the filling to ensure the cheese melts perfectly inside.
  • Don’t overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting during frying.
  • Seal wrapper edges well using water or beaten egg to avoid oil leaks.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for optimal crispiness and less greasy eggrolls.
  • Enjoy immediately while hot and crunchy for best taste and texture.
