Southwest Egg Rolls with Creamy Avocado Dip Recipe

Southwest Egg Rolls

This recipe is a quick leftover remix inspired by the Southwest Chicken Chimichanga post from yesterday. It uses many of the same ingredients but in a different format—crispy baked egg rolls served with a creamy avocado dip. The result is flavorful, easy to share, and perfect as an appetizer or part of a casual dinner.

30 egg rolls

Ingredients

Egg Rolls:

  • ½ can olives, sliced (or 1 small can pre-sliced olives)
  • ½ can corn, drained
  • ½ can black beans, rinsed
  • ½ cup spinach (freeze-dried and reconstituted or frozen)
  • ½ cup colby jack cheese (or any Mexican cheese blend)
  • 4 oz can diced green chiles
  • ½ cup green onion, sliced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • 1 pkg wonton wrappers

Creamy Avocado Dip:

  • ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp light mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp light sour cream
  • 3 Tbsp skim milk
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 green onion stalk, sliced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 avocado

Instructions

  • EGG ROLLS: Combine all egg roll filling ingredients in a bowl. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the wrapper edge with a little water and fold to seal.
  • Arrange the filled egg rolls on a foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls—use only a light coating so they brown evenly and won’t take too long to crisp.
  • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15–20 minutes, turning the egg rolls once halfway through baking, until golden and crisp.
  • CREAMY AVOCADO DIP: Place all dip ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning or thickness with a little extra milk or lemon juice if needed. Serve the dip alongside hot egg rolls.
