Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (473 ml / 16 oz) Monterey jack cheese
- 2 cups (473 ml / 16 oz) cooked turkey bacon (shredded or chopped)
- 1 cup (237 ml / 8 oz) corn (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup (237 ml / 8 oz) black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup (237 ml / 8 oz) spinach (chopped)
- 1 cup (237 ml / 8 oz) diced red bell pepper
- ¼ cup (59 ml / 2 oz) diced jalapeno (de-seeded)
- ½ tbsp (7.5 ml / 0.25 oz) cumin
- ½ tbsp (7.5 ml / 0.25 oz) chili powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml / 0.17 oz) salt
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml / 0.04 oz) black pepper
- 1 package egg roll wrappers (20 egg roll wrappers)
Instructions
- Preparation: Create a clean, organized workspace with all necessary utensils and ingredients for assembling the egg rolls.
- Filling Composition: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend turkey bacon, corn, black beans, spinach, red pepper, and jalapeno to form a harmonious filling mixture.
- Seasoning Integration: Elevate the filling’s flavor profile by evenly distributing cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper throughout the mixture, then gently fold in shredded cheese.
- Wrapping Technique: Position an egg roll wrapper diagonally, place a precise portion of filling in the center, then execute a meticulous folding method – lift the bottom corner over the filling, compress side corners inward, and roll tightly.
- Sealing Process: Moisturize wrapper edges with water to create a secure seal, preventing filling leakage during cooking. Repeat until all filling is utilized, maintaining consistent size and quality.
- Oil Preparation: Heat cooking oil in a large skillet to 350°F, ensuring sufficient depth for proper frying.
- Frying Method: Carefully introduce egg rolls to hot oil, maintaining spacing to prevent overcrowding. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating to achieve a uniform golden-brown exterior.
- Excess Oil Removal: Transfer fried egg rolls to paper towels to absorb excess oil while preserving their crisp texture.
- Final Crisping: Preheat oven to 425°F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly brush egg rolls with oil, and arrange seam-side down. Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating midway to ensure consistent golden coloration and crispness.
- Serving: Plate and serve immediately with preferred dipping sauces or accompaniments.
Notes
- Ingredient Precision: Measure ingredients exactly to maintain the perfect balance of flavors and textures in your egg rolls.
- Wrapper Handling: Keep egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out during preparation.
- Sealing Technique: Use water or egg wash as a natural glue to ensure tight, leak-proof seals on your egg rolls.
- Oil Temperature Control: Maintain consistent 350°F oil temperature for crispy, golden-brown exterior without burning.
