Southwestern Egg Rolls
Looking for a unique idea for party appetizers? These Southwestern egg rolls are a twist on the familiar burrito which is wrapped in a flour tortilla. These egg roll wrappers can be made vegetarian styles or with meat and cheese and then baked, and not fried, until hot and crispy. This version is had ground turkey, but you could also use chicken, with black beans, corn, southwestern spices and cheese.
They can be prepared earlier in the day, refrigerated and heated just before guests arrive. Plan about two per guest if served as an appetizer. Mix reduced fat sour cream and Manzanillo Mexican Seasoning for a quick dipping sauce.
We actually made these as a light dinner with a side salad. Two to three each makes a nice meal and you'll find it easy to gobble more than just a couple!
The Southwestern Egg Rolls are a good source of Protein and Selenium.
