    Sounds delicious! I just printed recipe and will be taking it to the store tomorrow to purchase the ingredients and try them. Thanks for the recipes, I have been married for 27 years and I get tired of making the same old thing.

  • Katie

    I found this recipe on pinterest and was so excited! I have been craving southwestern eggrolls for weeks and I had all the ingredients except for eggroll wrappers and ranch, so I headed to the store. I made my husband and son quesadillas with the mix because they weren’t willing to wait and they loved it. I however, was not a fan and it took me awhile but I finally figured out what was wrong. The southern eggrolls I’m used to are wrapped in a flour tortilla and fried. Also, it has pepper jack cheese for some more heat. I will make this again, but will definitely use the flour tortillas instead of eggroll wrappers! Also, the filling is great as a salsa on tacos as well! Thanks for sharing!

  • Ashley Manning

    These were so good!! My Husband loves southwestern egg rolls and this is the best recipe we have found! I did use 1/2 the corn, fresh spinach thrown in the food processor instead of frozen, yellow onions instead of green and flour tortilla shells instead of egg roll wrappers. I pan fried mine in the iron skillet. Thank you for sharing this great recipe!!

  • Karen

    I love southwestern egg rolls and never found a recipe that was close to what I wanted. This looks great! And I can’t wait to try it!!!

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      Hope you like it 😉

  • Amy Str8

    Sounds great! I wonder if the avocado ranch is similar to the one Applebees served a few years ago.

  • Diana

    I have tried a recipe very similar to this found on allrecipes.com. Anxious to try this! Also on that site is “Amy’s creamy cilantro dip” that should have its own national holiday! It is very much like cheesecake factory’s sauce – but better! Worth a try!

  • KB

    I made this last week and it was delicious! We love to order SW egg rolls when we go to Chili’s and these are just as good! There was so much I even froze some of the mix and made it again this week using crescent rolls (since I was out of egg roll wraps)…still delicious and a big hit with the family!. We dipped them in ranch dressing. YUM! Thanks for the recipe.

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      Oh great! I know it makes a TON of mixture. Smart idea freezing it

  • Leanne

    I am addicted to Chili’s SW egg rolls but have never made them myself because I’m super lazy (lol) and it always seemed like soooooo much work! But, I think I am going to try it 🙂 The only difference is that Chili’s uses flour tortillas instead of egg roll wrappers. Can you really tell/taste the difference? Anyone?

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      I really do not think you can tell the difference

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      I am so happy that it was a hit!

  • Terri

    made these and our family LOVED THEM!! We used flour tortillas instead of eggroll / wonton wrappers

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      Oh good 🙂

  • whitney

    I’m trying these tonight I couldn’t find the egg roll wraps at my store so I’m going to try with phyllo dough. I hope it turns out good lol

  • Daria

    I just made these for lunch and let me say…yummo. I put ground turkey and cooked diced yellow onion with it.

  • suzanne

    Just tried these and loved them!!

  • Lisa

    I love your recipies! I have wanted to try this but where did you find the egg roll wraps? I have looked before and didn’t have much luck.

    • TheBargainBabe

      I have seen them in the frozen food section with other breads/rolls or possibly with desserts like frozen eclairs.

      • jessica

        I have always found them in the produce section. I use eggroll wrappers for tones of meals and snacks!

        • Chrishele

          At Kroger, they are in the vegetarian/vegan/healthfood section. I’ve also got them at Whole Foods near the Tofu.

    • John

      look in the produce dept- oddly enough that is where I keep finding them in different grocery stores

  • kim

    have you reheated these? love the recipe and would like to make some ahead for the week
    any thoughts

    thank you!

  • Kathy Boltin

    I reheated them in the toaster oven and they were still delicious! Don’t think they would be as good reheated in the microwave.

    • kim

      thanks for the quick reply! i thought they probably wouldn’t be the same but im sure they’re still delicious! just not cripsy

  • Katie P.

    These were soooooo good! I made them with fresh spinach (because I had a bunch to use up due to a math error). You are right – the Avocado Ranch sauce IS addicting. I put just a bit of lime juice in the sauce too, along with the zest, so good. Another Budget Savvy Diva recipe added to the rotation! 🙂

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      Awesome – Glad you liked it 🙂

  • K&B

    This looks delicious ! And its definitely a different take on egg rolls

  • Fallon

    I was wondering if these would be good to freeze?

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      I have never tried

    • Katie P.

      Fallon, I’ve frozen them and they reheated great. I make these a lot (probably far more than any human should) and it makes so much that we end up freezing about half a batch (after they’ve been cooked, of course).

  • Susan

    I made these for a party and they disappeared faster than any of the other treats! Everyone loved them and they were so easy to make…my favorite kind of recipe!

  • Cyndy

    Pinned recently and even bought the eggroll wrappers, just need the avocado now.

  • Ty

    These seem like they need meat. You think some shredded chicken would be a good additive?

    • Sara

      I really think it would be great.

  • Courtney

    Do you think these would freeze well?

Peanut butter has been in my egg rolls ever since. The peanut butter adds a nutty, delicious and creamy flavor that you will love. It is a great addition to the ground pork.

Can I use spring roll wrappers instead of egg roll? ›

Are egg rolls Chinese or Japanese? ›

Foodtimeline.org says, “egg rolls (and their lighter counterpart, spring rolls) date back to ancient China. It is quite likely that egg-roll type foods were made and consumed in the USA by the first Chinese settlers in the mid 1800's.” Okay, now we are getting somewhere.

Why are my egg rolls not crispy? ›

Keep Oil at 350˚F – If the temperature drops too low, the egg rolls will be soggy and oily. If it's too hot, they will burn before the filling is cooked through. Ensure the oil does not drop below 325F.

Is peanut avocado roll good? ›

It is surprisingly filling, super fresh and healthy, and really- you can put all kinds of stuff inside your rolls, including… peanuts!

Why do you store peanut butter upside down? ›

The trick to keeping natural peanut butter smooth is to store the jar properly. Rather than keeping the jar of peanut butter as it is, you should store it upside down instead, as this helps the natural oils present in the peanut butter to move through the jar, consequently keeping it smooth at all times.

Why are my homemade egg rolls soggy? ›

You must take the time to chill your filling in the freezer or refrigerator before using. If it is warm, it will make your egg roll wrappers soggy and easily tear. Remove excess moisture. You don't want any excess moisture because soggy filling will make soggy egg rolls that can easily tear.

Should you freeze egg rolls before frying? ›

Freeze for up to 4 months. To cook the frozen egg rolls, just add them straight to the hot oil from frozen and cook an extra 1 ½ minutes longer than normal, for about 4-5 minutes total. Or if baking, add an extra 5 minutes to the bake time from frozen.

Are wonton wrappers the same as egg roll wrappers? ›

Egg roll wrappers are larger in diameter and slightly thicker, which creates a sturdier wrapper, allowing them to be stuffed with more filling devoid of tearing apart. They have a chewy, crispy texture when fried or baked. Wonton wrappers, on the other hand, are smaller and thinner, making them more delicate.

What are egg rolls made of? ›

How do you reheat chili's southwestern egg rolls? ›

Store cooked egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat them in the air fryer at 400°F for 2-3 minutes to keep them crispy, or in the oven at 425°F for 4-5 minutes. I do not recommend microwaving leftover egg rolls, as they'll lose their crispy texture.
