Description

These Crispy & Cheesy Elote Egg Rolls combine the bold flavors of Mexican street corn with a golden, crunchy shell. Filled with charred corn, creamy cheese, and zesty jalapeños, then served with a tangy avocado sauce, they’re the ultimate fusion appetizer for parties, snacks, or game day spreads!

Ingredients

For the Egg Rolls:

  • 1 pack egg roll wrappers

  • Fry oil (if deep frying)

  • 2 ears corn on the cob or 1 1/2 cans of corn, drained

  • 8 oz cream cheese (room temp)

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 2 jalapeños, diced

  • 1 shallot, diced

  • Pinch of salt and pepper

  • 1 tsp Tajín chili lime seasoning

For the Avocado Sauce:

 

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • Juice of 2 limes

  • 1/4 cup cilantro

  • 1/2 avocado

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling:

    • Let cream cheese soften to room temp (or microwave 30–45 seconds).

    • Char the corn on a grill, pan, or broiler. If using canned corn, drain and pat dry.

    • In a large bowl, mix corn, cream cheese, mozzarella, jalapeños, shallot, salt, pepper, and Tajín.

  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

    • Lay an egg roll wrapper like a diamond. Add 1 tbsp of filling on the bottom corner.

    • Roll halfway, wet the edges with water, fold in the sides, and roll to seal.

  3. Cooking Options:

    • Deep Frying: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls 3–4 minutes per side until golden.

    • Air Frying: Spray egg rolls with oil, air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 6 minutes per side.

  4. Make the Avocado Sauce:

    • Blend sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, avocado, and salt until smooth.

  5. Serve & Store:

    • Serve hot with avocado sauce.

    • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in air fryer.

Notes

  • Want extra kick? Add hot sauce or chili flakes to the filling.

  • These freeze well before cooking—just thaw slightly before air frying.

 

  • Serve with extra lime wedges for zing.
