Notes

Feel free to customize the filling by adding diced avocado, corn, or jalapeños for an extra kick. You can also swap the chicken for black beans or tofu for a vegetarian twist. Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, bake them in the oven at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes until they're crispy again.
