Scrap Girls Digital Scrapbooking Forum: Southwestern Rolls - Scrap Girls Digital Scrapbooking Forum

This is one of those recipes that can really be done a variety of ways, so if you don't like avocado or tomatoes you can omit and use more beans:

Southwestern Rolls

1 package egg roll wrappers
2 avocados, cut into pieces about 1/2"
1 can black beans
1/2 tsp cumin powder
Juice from 2 limes
6 Roma tomatoes, diced
Cilantro, chopped (small bunch or so)
Oil

Rinse the black beans, drain and mix in a bowl with cumin. In another bowl, gently mix tomatoes, avocado, and pour lime juice. Take egg roll wrapper and put it on a plate with one corner facing you. Put one generous teaspoon each of beans and tomato/avocado mix in a line across the middle. Top with some cilantro. Wrap by pulling up corner pointing at you over the mixture and rolling part of the way up. Fold left and rights points of wrapper in over the mixture that you have rolled, and continue roll up. Dab the fourth point (the one that was pointing away from you) with a small amount of water and finish rolling, sealing moistened fourth point down onto roll. Heat about 1/2" vegetable oil to medium heat in a pan, fry rolls, turning to brown all sides. Drain & let cool a bit before eating.

Oh, I have made things like this (well, eggrolls) with baking them in the oven rather than frying -- although I can't remember if I've ever done these that way. I put on a cooking sheet that I've sprayed with cooking spray and then lightly spray the tops of the rolls with cooking spray. The wrappers do turn out a bit different.
