Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz chorizo sausage
  • 1 cup chipotle beans (canned or cooked)
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack or queso fresco)
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Optional: 1 minced jalapeño or 1/4 cup diced tomatoes

Assembly & Cooking

  • 8–10 eggroll wrappers
  • Olive oil or vegetable oil, for sautéing and frying (about 2-3 tablespoons)
  • Water, for sealing eggroll edges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent. Stir in chipotle beans, corn, and any optional ingredients like jalapeños or tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes to combine flavors, then remove from heat. Mix in shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and lime juice to brighten the filling.
  2. Assemble the Eggrolls: Place one eggroll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of filling into the center. Fold the sides over and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a little water to prevent leaks. Repeat until all filling is used.
  3. Cook the Eggrolls: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, carefully fry eggrolls in batches until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Alternatively, brush eggrolls lightly with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through for even crisping.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with dipping sauces such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, or a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Drain excess fat from chorizo to keep eggrolls from becoming soggy.
  • Seal eggroll wrappers tightly using water or beaten egg to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
  • Do not overfill the wrappers to avoid tearing.
  • Ensure oil is hot enough to crisp eggrolls quickly without absorbing too much oil.
  • Allow eggrolls to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning and improve filling texture.
