Peruvian Chicken Egg Rolls: A Delicious Fusion of Flavors
Peruvian Chicken Egg Rolls are a mouth-watering appetizer that combines the flavors of Peru and Asia in one delicious dish. These crispy egg rolls are filled with tender chicken, vegetables, and spices, and are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients (serves 4):

- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup green onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup queso fresco, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon aji amarillo paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure the filling is completely cooled before filling the egg roll wrappers.
- Use a small amount of filling to prevent the egg rolls from bursting during frying.
- Fry the egg rolls in batches to ensure even cooking.

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, red bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, queso fresco, aji amarillo paste, soy sauce, lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner facing you. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
3. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it under the filling. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll the wrapper tightly to the top corner. Use a dab of water to seal the top corner.
4. Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
6. Drain the egg rolls on paper towels and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
