Disclosure: This is sponsored recipe for Wholly Guacamole
I realize we’re all planning and preparing for Easter this week (I am too — so excited for Sunday), but injust over two weeks, my most favorite of foodie holidays will be HERE!
What could it be? Well, let’s just say that guacamole is best friends with this holiday. It’s Cinco de Mayo! The #15MinuteSuppers bloggers and I are here to get you ready foryour festive foodie holiday with lots of easy Cinco de Mayo recipes (see the end of this post for all the links).
One of the things that makes my Southwestern Egg Rolls so easy is that I used the Wholly Avocado, which is 100% avocado. There was no avocado to open, no seed to remove…just open the package and you are ready to go. I can see this being particularly helpful to those of you who like avocado, but find the whole opening of one a pain. Plus, you don’t have to rely on your store having ripe avocados — just pick up a package of this and your almost halfway there.
The filling of the Southwestern Egg Rolls consists of the Wholly Avocado, pepper jack cheese, and a mixture of black beans and corn that have been spiced up a bit.
All this is layered and rolled up in an egg roll wrapper. Then, it’s fried in oil to crispy perfection. I know you might want to ask me if these can be baked and the answer is yes, but I don’t prefer to. I don’t fry a lot of foods, but there is a few things I insist on frying and this is one of them.
I suppose I should add a little disclaimer: this isn’t “real” Mexican food. I’m not even completely sure it’s totally Southwestern. Eh, could be…depends on who you ask. I do know it’s certainly not an egg roll— just made in an egg roll wrapper.But let’s just go with it all and make our bellies happy.
While these really don’t need extra condiments for dipping, I still like to have something to dip them in.We generally have sour cream or maybe even ranch dressing. But this time, I decided to use the Wholly Salsa. It’s so, so good and was a great choice.
Here’s the complete recipe, ready for you to print! Not ready for it yet? Be sure to save it to one of your pinterest boards.

First, this looks like such a wonderful recipe that I had to pin it and will be trying it out in the next few weeks. I love corn and black beans so this is a perfect recipe for me. Additionally, the idea of 15 minute dinners really captures my interest because I have those days that I don’t have much time to put into cooking. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
