Mexican Spring Rolls are the kind of snack that disappear fast, whether you serve them for game day, family gatherings, or a simple weeknight treat. This version keeps things lighter without sacrificing taste, which makes it ideal for anyone following Weight Watchers or simply wanting a smarter option. With seasoned chicken, beans, corn, and herbs wrapped in a crisp shell, these rolls deliver bold flavor in every bite while staying low in points and calories.

Story

Mexican Spring Rolls became a staple in my kitchen when I needed a Weight Watchers appetizer that felt fun instead of restrictive. I wanted something crunchy, warm, and packed with flavor, yet still fitting into a busy routine. These Mexican Spring Rolls checked every box. They come together quickly, bake up beautifully in the oven, and always satisfy that craving for a low point snack. I also love how flexible Mexican Spring Rolls are, because they work as party food, meal prep, or a quick bite straight from the oven.

Ingredients

These Mexican Spring Rolls rely on simple, everyday ingredients that bring texture and balance without extra points.

16 egg roll wrappers
1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken, packed
1/2 cup sweet corn kernels, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
Cooking spray, for baking

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Ingredients

Start by placing the shredded chicken, corn, black beans, diced jalapeño, and cilantro into a large mixing bowl. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, and taco seasoning, then stir until everything blends evenly. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed, keeping flavors bold but balanced so every roll tastes consistent.

Cooking Instructions

Lay an egg roll wrapper diagonally on a clean surface and place two to three tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Roll halfway, fold in both sides, and continue rolling tightly to the end, sealing with a dab of water. Repeat until finished, then place the rolls on a lined baking sheet, lightly spray with cooking spray, and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until golden and crisp.

Tips for Perfect Results

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Avoid overfilling the wrappers, since too much filling can cause tearing or uneven baking. Rolling loosely also leads to dry edges, so keep rolls snug without squeezing out the filling. Skipping the cooking spray may prevent proper browning, which affects both texture and appearance.

Pro Tips for Better Flavor

Finely chopping the jalapeño spreads heat evenly without overpowering the filling. Fresh cilantro adds brightness, but parsley works if cilantro isn’t your favorite. For a quicker option, this recipe adapts well into an air fryer recipe, cooking at 375°F for about 10 minutes with turning halfway.

Serving and Storage

How to Serve

Serve Mexican Spring Rolls hot and crisp with salsa, pico de gallo, or a light yogurt-based dip. They shine on appetizer platters, taco nights, or as part of fiesta food spreads where guests can grab and go without utensils.

How to Store Leftovers

Store cooled rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness, since microwaving softens the wrapper and dulls the texture.

Conclusion

Mexican Spring Rolls prove that lighter recipes can still feel exciting and satisfying. With bold seasoning, crisp wrappers, and simple prep, this dish fits perfectly into busy schedules while supporting healthier choices. Whether you serve them for guests or keep them on hand for snacks, these rolls make smart eating feel effortless.
