CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Sassy Southwestern Roll-Ups
Rockin' Rolls!
Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls are super-popular, super-delicious and, um,
super-fatty! But why would you even THINK about ordering that crazy-greasy
appy while you're out when you can churn out a guilt-free version in your
kitchen? Ours has ALL the same delicious ingredients, but we left out most of
the annoying fat and calories. These Mexican-inspired eggrolls have become
a staple at the HG HQ. BTW, we've also whipped up a veggie-friendly version
sans-chicken, and those ROCK as well. TRY THESE ASAP (and that's an
order!)...
Ingredients:
Eggrolls
3 La Tortilla Factory Whole Wheat Low-Carb/Low-Fat Tortillas, Original (not
Large)**
1 oz. cooked skinless chicken breast; shredded
2 tbsp. canned black beans
2 tbsp. canned corn; drained
1 oz. Lifetime Fat Free Jalapeno Jack cheese; shredded
1 tbsp. diced red chili pepper
3/4 cup frozen chopped spinach; thawed & thoroughly drained
Sauce
1 tbsp. avocado
2 tbsp. fat-free sour cream
1/2 tsp. Hidden Valley Dips Mix, The Original Ranch
1 tbsp. diced tomato
dash pepper (or more, to taste)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400. Combine chicken, beans, corn, cheese, chili pepper and
spinach in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds in the
microwave. Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds. On a clean, flat
surface, lay out tortillas side by side. Put 1/3 of the chicken-spinach mixture
in the center of each of tortilla. To assemble each of the rolls, fold the left
and right sides in (so none of the filling escapes during the cooking process),
and then roll up from the bottom of the tortilla until you reach the top (so
they resemble eggrolls). Place all 3 rolls (seams down) on a baking pan
sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 12 minutes, flipping rolls over
about halfway through cooking.
While the eggrolls are in the oven, combine the sour cream, avocado, and
Hidden Valley Dips Mix in a small bowl -- stir until smooth and blended.
Season to taste with pepper. Top your dipping sauce with the tomatoes just
before you serve! Once the eggrolls are done baking, allow them to cool for
a few minutes. Then cut each in half diagonally, arrange them beautifully on
a plate, and serve with the dipping sauce. Mmmmmmm!

Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls
Southwest Slop!
Sure, Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls are famous. And what kind of weirdo
wouldn't like them? They're EGGROLLS (a favorite of humans everywhere)
made from flour tortillas stuffed with smoked chicken, black beans, corn,
jalapeno jack cheese, red peppers and spinach. And they're served with a
creamy avocado-ranch dipping sauce. But before you get all giddy and start
planning your next Chili's excursion, think about the price you pay for
gobbling those babies down. Half an order has over 25 grams of fat and
more than 400 calories. And that's for an APPETIZER, people! Pair it with an
entree, and you'll likely be chowing down on a meal with a calorie count in
the QUADRUPLE digits! Eeeks. That is just not necessary. Instead, whip up
your own version at home and go eggroll crazy! And when you're at Chili's,
stick with their Guiltless Grill menu, and order carefully. (Click here for more
on that.)
