Southwest Egg Rolls with Tangy Avocado Dip

Ingredients

Southwest Eggrolls

2 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch slices
5 tablespoons Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
2 cups chopped cabbage
2 cups chopped green onions
1 cup cooked rice, cooled
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeños
About 50 egg roll wrappers
Oil for deep-frying

Tangy Avocado Dip

2 avocados, peeled and mashed
1 cup sour cream
1 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Juice and grated rind of 1/2 lime
2 teaspoons Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce

Preparation

To make eggroll filling, combine chicken, TABASCO® Sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Heat the 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken and cook until no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool, then chop finely.

Combine black beans, corn, cheese, cabbage, green onions, rice, and jalapeños in a large bowl. Stir in chopped chicken and mix well.

Spoon 1/4 to 1/2 cup mixture onto each egg roll wrapper and fold according to package directions. Heat several inches of oil to 350°F in a deep fryer. Fry egg rolls, a few at a time, for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

To make dip, combine all dip ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Garnish with chopped lettuce and tomatoes, if desired, and serve with eggrolls.

Makes about 50 egg rolls (depending on size).
