CHICKEN FAJITA EGG ROLLS

Chicken Fajita Egg Rolls image

Tex-Mex chicken fajita ingredients put in an egg roll. If you have access to a turkey fryer, I recommend using it to cook these in order to cut down on number of batches and speed up the cooking process. This can be an appetizer or part of a full meal. Goes great with ginger soy sauce or even some pico de gallo.

Ingredients

vegetable oil for frying
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
½ cup finely chopped mushrooms
cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
2 (8 ounce) packages shredded pepper Jack cheese
16 egg roll wrappers, or more as needed

Steps:

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Beat eggs and milk together to make egg wash.
Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, peppers, mushrooms, and cayenne until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Mix in pepper Jack cheese until thoroughly combined and starting to melt, 1 to 2 minutes.
Place equal amounts of the filling mixture in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold in side corners and roll up, sealing edges with egg wash.
Cook egg rolls in the hot oil until they float to the top and turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding. Lay flat on paper towels to drain, standing on their ends to drain any excess oil.
