Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare a clean workspace with necessary utensils for assembling egg rolls.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine turkey bacon, corn, black beans, spinach, red pepper, and jalapeno to create a well-integrated filling mixture.
- Enhance the filling’s flavor profile by incorporating cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Fold in shredded cheese, gently mixing to maintain the filling’s structural integrity.
- Position an egg roll wrapper diagonally on a flat surface, with one point facing towards you.
- Carefully measure and deposit 2-3 tablespoons of prepared filling precisely in the wrapper’s center.
- Execute a precise folding technique: lift the bottom corner over the filling, compress side corners inward, then continue rolling tightly.
- Secure the egg roll’s edges by moistening with water, creating a secure seal to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
- Repeat the wrapping process until all filling is utilized, maintaining consistent size and seal quality.
- Temporarily chill prepared egg rolls to maintain structural stability before cooking.
- Heat cooking oil in a large skillet to 350°F, ensuring sufficient depth for proper frying.
- Carefully introduce egg rolls to hot oil, maintaining spacing to prevent overcrowding and ensure even browning.
- Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating to achieve a uniform golden-brown exterior.
- Transfer fried egg rolls to paper towels to absorb excess oil, preserving their crisp texture.
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for additional crisping.
- Lightly brush egg rolls with oil and arrange seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating midway to ensure consistent golden coloration and crispness.
- Plate and serve immediately with preferred dipping sauces or accompaniments.
Notes
- Prep ahead by mixing filling ingredients thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution in every bite.
- Freeze egg rolls briefly before cooking to help maintain their shape and prevent unwrapping during frying or baking.
- Use a thermometer to check oil temperature for perfect golden-brown crispiness without burning.
- Seal egg roll edges carefully with water to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
- Work in small batches when frying to maintain consistent oil temperature and prevent overcrowding.
- Pat ingredients dry before mixing to avoid soggy egg roll wrappers and ensure maximum crunchiness.
