Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast, cooked and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup diced roasted red pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapenos
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1 scallion, chopped
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- Wonton or egg roll wrappers
- Canola oil, for frying
Instructions
- Heat the cooked chicken, seasoning and water on medium heat until the liquid thickens and gets absorbed into the chicken. Set aside.
- Combine the cheese, red peppers and jalapenos in a blender until finely chopped. Place in a mixing bowl and stir in corn, scallions, beans, and chicken mixture. Combine well and set aside.
- Whisk together the egg and water and set aside. Place wonton or egg roll wrappers on a flat surface and brush the outer edges with egg wash mixture. If you’re using wonton wrappers, attach 2 together with egg wash mixture to make a longer rectangle. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of Mex mixture onto wrapper and spread into a log shape. Fold over ends of wrapper approximately 1/2-inch to cover ends of log shaped mixture. After ends are turned in, roll up and seal.
- Deep-fry the Mini Mex Rolls in canola oil heated to 375 degrees F until they float. Remove and drain, and allow to cool for several minutes before serving.

Reviews
After seeing them on the show I knew I had to make them. I made them as is and they were delicious. When we make chicken tacos there is always meat left over (only 2 of us and now I have this recipe to use it in. Thanks Guy.
Served with salsa and guacamole! Serve at Christmas and Super Bowl!
We enjoyed these despite the fact we felt guilty over fried food. There are just the two of us, so I froze the leftovers for later, figuring that a few minutes in a hot oven will bring them back to life.
My family and friends absolutly love thses. I tweeked it just a little though. In an effort to save time and money, I bought Bush’s black beans fiesta. They are an awesome substitute for the regular black beans. They already have the corn and the red peppers in them. I did not drain them because they are falvored and it made the rodds even better. These are always asked for by everyone. It seems that we have them at least 3-4 times a month.
My family absolutely loved this recipe. I did tweek a couple of things. Bush’s beans has a new can of fiesta black beans, it has most of the ingredients that are in the recipe, like the corn, black beans, and red peppers. This makes it much more convenient. The second time I made these I used another mexican queso cheese.. It made them so good.. I now have request from my kids friends, and mine to make these all the time… We totally love these and share the recipe as much as possible.
I absolutely love this recipe. As soon as I saw the show this was featured on I had to find it. My boyfriend and I believe this is the best thing I cook. I do halve the jalapenos, although we love hot food. The first time I made the recipe as is, and it was a little much even for us. I had to make these the other night because a friend begged me to and even bought all of the ingredients for them. I use ranch to dip and my friend uses sour cream. I also double the chicken and use half an onion rather than scallions.
I made this for my family and my very picky husband said he’d eat it every night if only I made it every night! This man fusses over many meals, served at home or at a restaurant. Little ever gets a thumbs up from his taste buds, so when it does, know it is out of the park. As for myself and my three year old son (went a little liter on the japs for him,) we loved it too. One difference, I baked mine since I’m in the middle of losing baby weight and it was still nice and crispy since I sprayed them with olive oil and cooked them for ten minutes at 450. Once I’m done with dropping the baby lbs I will try frying it.
These were really tasty and pretty darn inexpensive to boot. I was already cooking chicken for another meal so I just saved two of the breasts for when I made these. I didn’t use the roasted red peppers just because my family doesn’t care for them. My husband hates black beans even and he loved these! I made all of the filling except for the jalapenos, rolled some in the big egg roll wrappers and then added jalapenos into the rest of the filling. My daughter liked the ones without jalapeno and my husband and I loved the spice of the ones with jalapeno. I think I might have added more than it called for because my poor hubby was very red faced but he just drank more milk to counter the heat. I dipped them in ranch dressing and salsa but my hubby used salsa and sour cream. All in all, a pretty easy recipe that would work well for parties and game nights…….just be careful of the jalapenos in case someone doesn’t like spicy. Maybe halve the filling for a regular meal because I doubled just the chicken and taco seasoning part and had tons of filling left over.
These were a huge hit at a party i had. I used lawry’s chicken taco seasoning
and omited the roasted red peppers and also used peperoncinis. i served it
with guacomole and sour cream and they were out of this world. I used the
egg roll wrappers they hold the filling better.

Preparation is not too time consuming but you must grill your chicken and red pepper so take that into account on your time. Of course you you could do it the day before.
The dish itself is WONDERFUL! Not too spicy just the right amount that my kids would still eat it.
