- 1 cup (237 ml) spinach (chopped)
- 1 cup (237 ml) diced red bell pepper
- ¼ cup (59 ml) diced jalapeno (de-seeded)
Spices and Seasonings:
- ½ tablespoon (7.5 ml) cumin
- ½ tablespoon (7.5 ml) chili powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) black pepper
Cheese and Wrappers:
- 2 cups (473 ml) Monterey jack cheese
- 1 package (20 egg roll wrappers)
Instructions
- Assemble a vibrant mixture of turkey bacon, corn, black beans, spinach, red pepper, and jalapeno in a generously sized mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper over the colorful blend, thoroughly incorporating the spices throughout the ingredients.
- Gently fold shredded cheese into the filling, ensuring even distribution.
- Position an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one point directed toward you.
- Carefully center 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared filling in the middle of the wrapper.
- Expertly fold the bottom corner upward, covering the filling completely. Tightly fold side corners inward, then continue rolling the wrapper.
- Moisten wrapper edges with water to create a secure seal, preventing filling from escaping during cooking.
- Continue assembling remaining egg rolls using the same technique.
- Chill prepared egg rolls briefly while preparing cooking equipment.
- Heat oil in a large skillet to approximately 350°F, maintaining a depth of one inch.
- Carefully introduce egg rolls to the hot oil, ensuring they do not touch each other during frying.
- Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes per side until achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
- Transfer fried egg rolls to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly brush egg rolls with oil and arrange them seam-side down on the prepared sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating midway to ensure uniform crispness.
- Serve immediately with preferred accompaniments for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Prep Smart: Gather all ingredients and tools before starting to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Wrapper Wisdom: Keep egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out while preparing.
- Filling Finesse: Don’t overstuff egg rolls, as this can cause them to break during cooking or prevent proper sealing.
- Cooking Caution: Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for crispy, evenly cooked egg rolls without burning.
- Freezer Hack: Briefly freezing egg rolls before cooking helps them hold their shape and prevents filling from leaking.
- Serving Suggestion: These egg rolls taste best when served immediately and paired with a cool dipping sauce for contrast.
