Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, jalapeño, and spices. Mix until well incorporated.
  • Warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for 10-15 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
  • On a clean surface, lay a tortilla flat and scoop about 2 tablespoons of filling into the center. Fold the sides and roll tightly.
  • Heat oil in a deep frying pan until shimmering. For baking, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Fry the egg rolls in hot oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • If baking, place the egg rolls on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Allow the egg rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.
