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.

Christie Ferguson says
Do you suppose they could be made in advance and frozen?
Aimee Berrett says
I 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!
Jennifer Lafferty says
How many egg rolls will this make?
Aimee Berrett says
I’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!
ShaNae says
I 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
I 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.
ShaNae says
Great, thank you for the tip!
