We are loving our new healthy snacks made with won ton and egg roll wrappers!

First there was our Taco Cups then Mini Quiche in Wonton wrappers and now these gorgeous Baked Southwest Egg Rolls!  All these recipes are perfect appetizers for a crowd!

We rolled out 15 in a batch of these, ate a ton and froze the rest!  Clocking in at around 100 calories each … I’ll take two!

Step by step instructions to roll up a batch of these delicious and healthy snacks!

Start with these ingredients:

  • Egg roll wrappers – these can be found in the refrigerated international section
  • 1 cup each red pepper, corn and  black beans
  • 1/2 cup chopped polano – or jalapeño if you like it hot!
  • 3 green onion
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 1 cup chopped cooked chicken
  • 1 cup grated Mexican blend cheese
  • add cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper
Look at all those healthy delicious ingredients!

Can I freeze these rolls?

  • These freeze beautifully!  Place baked rolls in freezer type bags for up to 3 months.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes until heated through.
  • They can also be microwaved by wrapping in a paper towel and microwaved on high for 45 seconds.  Check and reheat 10 seconds at a time if necessary.

How to make these rolls in your Air Fryer:

  • Spray all sides of the egg rolls with oil.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400F. In batches, cook 400F for 6 minutes, turning halfway through, or until golden.

How to make Easy Baked Southwest Egg Rolls:

  • Combine your filling ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Separate your egg roll wrappers about 3 or 4 at a time…I found this to be the most challenging!  No dexterity…
dip your finger in water and run around the edge of the wrapper
place 1/4 cup filling corner to corner on wrapper
fold wrapper over the longest part of the filling

Place the rolls on a baking sheet covered with non stick cooking spray.

We used parchment paper but foil or a silicone mat would work well….or just place directly on a baking sheet coated with non stick spray.

Party appetizers for a crowd!

Lets talk about dipping!

  • we used a mixture of salsa and sour cream – yum
  • Healthy Dip  – one cup salsa to 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • sweet chili sauce – you can find this in the Mexican food ailse
  • We love a mixture of plain yogurt and hot sauce – my favorite dip!  You can see with this recipe.  
  • Side of refried beans mixed with cheese always makes a great dip!
