Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (473 ml) turkey bacon (cooked, shredded or chopped)
- 2 cups (473 ml) Monterey jack cheese
- 1 package (20) egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup (237 ml) corn (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup (237 ml) black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup (237 ml) spinach (chopped)
- 1 cup (237 ml) red bell pepper (diced)
- ¼ cup (59 ml) jalapeno (diced, de-seeded)
- ½ tbsp (7.5 ml) cumin
- ½ tbsp (7.5 ml) chili powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) black pepper
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine turkey bacon, corn, black beans, spinach, red pepper, and jalapeno in a large mixing bowl, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Seasoning: Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper over the mixture, thoroughly mixing to coat all ingredients with robust, zesty flavors.
- Cheese Integration: Gently fold shredded cheese into the filling, creating a cohesive and flavorful mixture.
- Wrapper Technique: Position an egg roll wrapper diagonally on a clean surface, then carefully center the prepared filling in the middle of the wrapper.
- Rolling Method: Fold the bottom corner upward, covering the filling completely. Tightly fold side corners inward, then roll the wrapper, sealing edges with water to prevent filling from escaping.
- Oil Heating: Warm oil in a large skillet to 350°F, maintaining a one-inch depth for optimal frying conditions.
- Frying Process: Carefully introduce egg rolls to the hot oil, ensuring they do not touch each other, and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
- Draining and Finishing: Transfer fried egg rolls to paper towels to remove excess oil, then arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Final Crisping: Preheat oven to 425°F, lightly brush egg rolls with oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating midway to ensure uniform crispness and golden-brown perfection.
- Serving: Plate immediately with preferred accompaniments, ready to delight eager taste buds with a crispy, flavorful appetizer.
Notes
- Ingredient Balance: Carefully measure spices to achieve the perfect blend of flavors without overwhelming the delicate filling.
- Wrapper Technique: Keep egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out during preparation.
- Oil Temperature Precision: Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain consistent 350°F oil temperature, ensuring crispy exterior without burning.
- Cooling Strategy: Allow egg rolls to rest briefly on paper towels to absorb excess oil, maintaining optimal crispness and texture.
