Description

Deliciously crunchy eggrolls filled with spicy black beans, cheddar cheese, and fresh vegetables, perfect as an appetizer or side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Flour tortillas (or corn, for gluten-free)
  • 1 can black beans, well-drained
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 fresh jalapeños, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Drizzle olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for about a minute.
  3. Add diced bell peppers and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in black beans, jalapeños, and spices, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and fold in cheddar until melted.
  6. Lay a tortilla flat and place a spoonful of filling in the center.
  7. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, ensuring filling stays inside.
  8. Repeat with remaining tortillas, brushing tops lightly with olive oil.
  9. Place eggrolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure crispiness. Let filling cool before rolling to prevent tough tortillas.
