Makes 21 Egg rolls, or 48 Won tons
From Chef-In-Training.com
This tasty dinner is absolutely delicious; our family eats every single one every time I serve them; and I've received nothing but the highest praise for the recipe from friends I've shared the recipe with.
Ingredients for EGG ROLLS or WON TONS
- 2 cups frozen corn, thawed
- 1 - 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 - 9 oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry with paper towel (I use fresh)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese (I use co-jack)
- 1 - 7 oz. can diced green chiles, drained (I use the larger can)
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (I use 1/4 tsp. and it's still spicy)
- 1 pkg. of egg roll or wonton wrappers (I found these in the produce department at Wal-Mart)
Instructions:Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
In a large bowl mix together corn, beans, spinach, cheese, chiles, onions, cumin, chili powder, salt and cayenne pepper. Using a small spoon, scoop a small amount of filling on to the wrapper. Startling at a corner, carefully start to roll the wrapper. When it's slightly rolled, tuck in the two sides and continue rolling to the last point. Wet your finger with water and dab a bit on the corner to seal the egg roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling, placing them slightly apart on the baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping them at least once during baking.
If there is any left-over filling, we wrap it up on a whole wheat tortilla later for a delicious snack.
Ingredients for AVOCADO RANCH DIP
- 3/8 cup mayonnaise
- 3/8 cup sour cream
- 3 Tbl. buttermilk
- 1 1/2 tsp. olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
- 1/2 green onion, chopped
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 avocado
Instructions:
Place all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth. Use immediately.
* I serve with corn chips
* Filling can be made in advance for later, or frozen and finished when ready to eat.
* We've also served these egg rolls with ranch dressing, salsa and sour cream, or BBQ sauce!

Oh, yum! We will try these next week! We love Mexican-flavored things, but I've never tried them with wonton wrappers (we've done other things in them)! I wonder if they would freeze well if I made a bunch?
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I have not done anything else with egg roll or won ton wrappers; this is a totally new experience to me - but we LOVE them! So I don't know how they'd freeze, you'd probably know better than I would. In fact, I would love any other recipes you have that are vegetarian and include these nifty, yummy wrappers, if you would email them to me? =D But I'm sure the filling would freeze well, and then you could just maybe thaw it and probably heat it up a bit before filling the wrappers and baking. It would still be pretty quick I would think.
DeleteRecipes?! All I've done is a cabbage/carrot mixture (sometimes with other things) to make a Chinese egg roll that we bake, and a mushroom ravioli to please my hubby. We used to love the veggie rolls you can get in the freezer section...until I read the ingredients. Thanks again for sharing the recipes; I actually have the Peas and Thank You cookbook, but haven't tried any recipes, but I will try that lasagna recipe!
ReplyDeleteHi Erika! Good post on an interesting topic.
ReplyDeleteFor our family, we're trying to teach our children that our "hobbies" should be something that honors the Lord, and provides an area of ministry later in life. We make a huge sacrifice in time and money to have our children play violin and piano, but music is a "hobby" that can be used to minister to others now AND in adulthood.
While sports is certainly not a sin, it cannot be used for ministry. Therefore, in our home, we do not sacrifice our time or money for sports. :)
One of my girls wants to learn cake decorating. This is a "hobby" that can be used for ministry and family, so she and I are planning to take a class together next year.
Our boys (who are still a bit young!) want to go hunting. This is a "hobby" that benefits their family someday (providing meat) so Daddy plans to teach them to hunt.
Hobbies in and of themselves are not bad. We just have to make wise choices as to where we spend our time.
Drat. I have NO idea how this published under this recipe! I was trying to comment on the sports post. LOL I will copy and paste it, but feel free to delete it!
