Chili’s Copycat Southwestern Egg Rolls Recipe
If you’re looking for a great Chili’s Copycat Southwestern Egg Rolls Recipe, I have a quick and delicious one for you to try. What makes this recipe easy is that it uses pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, so you don’t have to separately cook the chicken. That’s a time saver.
What makes these Copycat Southwestern Egg Rolls delicious is the perfect balance of peppers, onions, spinach, corn, black beans, seasonings, and Monterey Jack cheese.
I only use Nasoya brand egg roll wraps because they only have natural ingredients and they cook up light and crispy.

How to Store and Reheat Copycat Southwestern Egg Rolls
Fried egg rolls are kept best wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for about 3 days. If you have extra copycat Southwestern egg rolls that are already cooked, don’t cut them. Instead, keep them whole and reheat them on a metal baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.
