Enjoy the southwest flavors of these delicious baked southwest chicken rolls served with salsa, guacamole and sour cream!
I love the combination of all these flavors. Chicken, corn, black beans, tomatoes, onions and more. Its the same flavors as my favorite southwest salsa, plus chicken wrapped up in a delicious egg roll and baked into perfection.
I first found these southwest egg rolls on pinterest and made them back in 2011.
These southwest chicken rolls are perfect as a main dish if you eat just one or two, or as an appetizer or side dish to any meal.
I seriously love these rolls and I know that you will love them too! You can eat them as an appetizer (they make a great dish for the super bowl!), side dish or main dish. Anyway you have them they will taste great and your whole family will love them.

September 17, 2015 at 6:21 PMDo you suppose they could be made in advance and frozen?
Aimee Berrett says
September 18, 2015 at 8:22 AMI have frozen some when I’ve had leftovers so I definitely think you should be fine. I’d let them thaw a bit, and reheat them in the oven to get them nice and crispy again!

March 22, 2015 at 8:32 AMHow many egg rolls will this make?
Aimee Berrett says
March 22, 2015 at 10:48 AMI’m sorry Jennifer, I can’t remember exactly how many. My guess is around 18? I know it makes a lot. We usually only eat 1 or 2 a person at a time and we’ve ended up with lots of leftovers. Let me know if you try it!

January 29, 2014 at 11:46 AMI wonder if the filling would be just as good in flour tortillas? My son, the picket child on earth, won’t eat egg roll wrappers. I am so going to make this recipe this weekend!
Aimee Berrett says
January 29, 2014 at 11:52 AMI think it would be great! We have had the filling with just chips, so I think it would be a similar flavor for tortillas. I would probably get the smaller tortillas though (like 8 inch), just because it might be a lot of the same texture with a big tortilla, and you could wrap them up and bake them the same way.
