Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed) Black beans
- 1 cup (cooked or canned, drained) Corn kernels
- 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
- 3 stalks, thinly sliced Green onions
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 sheets Spring roll wrappers
- 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup (for sealing wrappers) Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture near the corner closest to you.
Fold the corner of the wrapper over the filling, rolling tightly. Fold in the left and right sides of the wrapper toward the center. Wet the edges of the remaining corner with water, then roll tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Carefully place 3-4 spring rolls at a time into the hot oil. Fry them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked spring rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining spring rolls.
Serve the spring rolls warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like salsa, guacamole, or a chipotle ranch dressing.
