Baked southwestern egg rolls with chicken, black beans and cheese make a perfect game day or party appetizer – these are always a hit!

Check out my latest video for these baked southwestern egg rolls:

I’m back with another Foodie Football Fans recipe collaboration with my fellow food bloggers and today we’re bringing you ideas for the Big Game! Everything from snacks and appetizers to main dishes you can serve your friends and family while you watch the game.

You may remember our previous Foodie Football posts. I made my easy chicken roll-ups with cream cheese and veggies for our tailgating party and easy pimiento cheese crackers for our team-themed round-up for my Southern Carolina team.

But my team didn’t have such a great year this year…

We went all the way last year, and now we’re not even in the playoffs, so I’m a little less jazzed. On the other hand, we lost at the Super Bowl last year and that’s the day my oven completely broke, so maybe low key is good. 😂

Plus, more time to focus on the food! Cause sometimes that’s the best part. Or maybe all the time. 😉

Today I’m sharing these easy baked southwestern egg rolls. I’ve been making these babies on repeat recently because they’re so fun and tasty and a great way to serve a crowd!

I took them to my girls group get together last month and then a couple of weeks ago, took them over to a neighbor’s house when we had a get together there on our snow day. They were devoured both times!

I use store-bought egg roll wrappers for these baked egg rolls and stuff them with an easy mixture of chicken, beans, cheese and all kinds of great Southwestern style seasonings. 👌

The mixture alone is delicious! In fact, I have some friends who are gluten free so I took the extra mixture in a bowl and they scarfed it up – some with gluten free crackers, some just by the spoonful. So you’ll be glad to end up with some extra!

A few notes on these baked southwestern egg rolls:

• You can prep the filling mixture for these ahead of time and just wrap and bake them when you’re ready to serve. I’ve also reheated these in the oven after they’ve cooked, so you could do that too. Put them in a 275 degree oven for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
• You can substitute a Mexican style blend cheese or use all cheddar or all Monterey Jack cheese if you prefer.
• You can substitute fresh, canned or frozen corn (thawed) in place of the Mexican if you want.
• Need a vegetarian version? Just omit the chicken.
• As I mentioned, you’ll have about 1 cup of leftover chicken mixture. You can serve it on the side with chips or crackers or save it for a light lunch. I’ve even used it to stuff into taco shells for the kids as dinner. 👍

I hope you give these baked southwestern egg rolls a try for your game day eats – or just any time you need a fun appetizer!

Enjoy!
