Southwest Egg Rolls

I love making these egg rolls. It marries two of my favorite types of food – Southwestern and Asian. I have made these as both an appetizer, a lunch, and even an after-school snack for my kids if I’m feeling extra fancy. Your guests will love how these little firecrackers burst with flavor. They aren’t spicy at all, so if you want to add a kick you can simply add some chopped jalapeños to the mix.

How to Make These Ahead of Time

If making as a snack for the kids, usually just one southwest egg roll will do the trick to curb hunger until dinnertime. If you are making these as an appetizer you can cut them in half or in thirds to make for easier eating for a crowd. However I decide to serve them, I like to make a large batch of these and then freeze them. These take a little bit of prep time, but not much. You will be glad you made them up when you are in need of a quick snack or lunch. That way I can cook them up one or two at a time as needed. If you are re-heating them from frozen, the southwestern egg rolls re-heat best in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. However, if you need a really quick snack, you can also just throw them in the microwave for about 40 seconds to 1 minute. Read Next: Easy Lunch Ideas
