Making Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer

There are a lot of reasons to make egg rolls in the air fryer. I could tell you about how much healthier they are by avoiding all the extra fat but the real reason I make them in the air fryer is connivence.

You can have these egg rolls ready in the amount of time that it takes to heat up a pot of oil to fry.

Among the other reasons your house won't smell like deep fried oil and the clean up is much easier.

My final reason is Air Fried Egg Rolls are great for making with the kids. You don't have to worry about anyone burning themselves with dangerous hot oil, not to mention the fire hazard.

What Kind of Chicken to Use in this Recipe

I happened to have some smoked chicken breast leftover from a previous meal so that's what I used to make the chicken fajitas.

You can also use a whole rotisserie chicken, canned Chicken or Cooked Chicken thighs for the recipe. Its really up to you and what you prefer or have available

2. Cook the fajita mixture for about 5 minutes and then remove from heat and let cool for 30 minutes until room temperature. You can make the Ranch dip while the chicken cools.
3. Lay out 8 egg roll wrappers on a cutting board with the points facing north, south, east, west. Brush the boarder of the egg roll wrappers with water to help seal the egg rolls then place equal amounts of the chicken fajita mixture in the center of each wrapper.
4. Fold the two sides of the egg roll wrapper into the center so the points almost meet over the chicken mixture and seal the sides. Then take the bottom point and fold it over rolling the wrapper until it meets the other point. Make sure the filling is evenly distributed and you have a tightly rolled cylinder. 
5. Spray the egg roll with cooking oil and place in the air fryer with the fold down. leave one inch of space between the egg rolls.
6. Cook at 400 for about 8-10 minutes then filp each egg roll once the wrapper has a golden crispy color.
7. After flipping cook the egg rolls for another 5-7 minutes until crispy. Rest for 5 minutes in the air fryer then slice on a diagonal and serve.
