Ingredients

  • 1 chicken breast, cooked and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced roasted red pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapenos
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 1 scallion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup black beans
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Wonton or egg roll wrappers
  • Canola oil, for frying

Directions

Heat the cooked chicken, seasoning and water on medium heat until the liquid thickens and gets absorbed into the chicken. Set aside.

Combine the cheese, red peppers and jalapenos in a blender until finely chopped. Place in a mixing bowl and stir in corn, scallions, beans, and chicken mixture. Combine well and set aside.

Whisk together the egg and water and set aside. Place wonton or egg roll wrappers on a flat surface and brush the outer edges with egg wash mixture. If you're using wonton wrappers, attach 2 together with egg wash mixture to make a longer rectangle. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of Mex mixture onto wrapper and spread into a log shape. Fold over ends of wrapper approximately 1/2-inch to cover ends of log shaped mixture. After ends are turned in, roll up and seal.

Deep-fry the Mini Mex Rolls in canola oil heated to 375 degrees F until they float. Remove and drain, and allow to cool for several minutes before serving.

    My family and friends absolutly love thses. I tweeked it just a little though. In an effort to save time and money, I bought Bush's black beans fiesta. They are an awesome substitute for the regular black beans. They already have the corn and the red peppers in them. I did not drain them because they are falvored and it made the rodds even better. These are always asked for by everyone. It seems that we have them at least 3-4 times a month.

    My family absolutely loved this recipe. I did tweek a couple of things. Bush's beans has a new can of fiesta black beans, it has most of the ingredients that are in the recipe, like the corn, black beans, and red peppers. This makes it much more convenient. The second time I made these I used another mexican queso cheese.. It made them so good.. I now have request from my kids friends, and mine to make these all the time... We totally love these and share the recipe as much as possible.

    I absolutely love this recipe. As soon as I saw the show this was featured on I had to find it. My boyfriend and I believe this is the best thing I cook. I do halve the jalapenos, although we love hot food. The first time I made the recipe as is, and it was a little much even for us. I had to make these the other night because a friend begged me to and even bought all of the ingredients for them. I use ranch to dip and my friend uses sour cream. I also double the chicken and use half an onion rather than scallions.
