    I make Hungry Girl's "Explodin' Chicken Taquitos" all the time. I'm thinking the filling would also work great in egg roll wrappers!

    One 9.75-oz. (or 10-oz.) can 98% fat-free chunk white chicken breast in water, drained and flaked
    1/2 cup salsa
    8 small (6-inch) yellow corn tortillas
    1/3 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
    1/4 tsp. dry taco seasoning mix
    Optional dips: additional salsa, fat-free sour cream

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

    In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and salsa, and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

    Dampen two paper towels, and place tortillas between them. Microwave for about 1 minute, until tortillas are warm and pliable. Set aside.

    Remove chicken mixture from the fridge, and drain any excess liquid. Add cheese and taco seasoning, and mix to combine. This is your filling. Set aside.

    Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick spray. Set aside.

    Place one tortilla flat on a clean dry surface (keep the rest between the paper towels), and spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of filling onto the tortilla. Spread it evenly across the entire surface, and roll tortilla up tightly, so that you have a cigar-shaped tube. Secure with toothpicks, if needed, and place seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

    Bake in the oven until crispy, 14 - 16 minutes. (Don't worry if they crack and "explode" a little!)

    Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks, if using. If you like, serve with additional salsa and sour cream for dipping. Enjoy!

    She also has some great suggestions for filling wonton wrappers...wonton 'quitos, triple cheesy pepperoni poppers and spanako-pieces. These fillings should also work really well in egg roll wrappers...

    I prefer phyllo dough, because it bakes much better. Same recipes though!
    :flowerforyou: Thanks, I'll try both and see which one I prefer. I have heard/seen quite a few tasty looking recipes using Phyllo dough on here as well.

    I place them in muffin tins and fill them up with a mixture of egg whites, laughing cow light Swiss cheese and diced spinach. I used about 3 egg whites, one laughing cow wedge and a handful of spinach and it made 6 little cups which came to 210 calories for the 6. It was perfect! Plus the laughing cow wedges don't smooth out in the mixture so you get big bites of the cheese and it's amazing. You could add bacon and any meats too, of course more calories. Perfect breakfast!

    Did somebody try to freeze them (wrappers only as well as filled and cooked rolls) for later? Eat them cold? Reheat?
    I have made the buffalo chicken ones with coleslaw mix and blue cheese.. baked them.. and then froze.. i reheated in a non stick skillet with some pam.. and they worked out great..

    Yum...Why have I never thought of using these...And I was excited about the post that mentioned powdered peanut butter...
    May try experimenting with Phyllo Dough tomorrow at work though. Only plus side of working in a kitchen. Occasionally getting paid for trying to come up with, "New Menu Options" and then EATING THEM! (This is also a huge down side... =^/)

    Ok....im obsessed now too!!

    I was going to make a version of the buffalo chicken egg rolls, but read this chain and the wonton wrapper chain tonight after work ..(after pondering all day at work what sweet treats i could make with the wrappers, too).

    For dinner I made four pockets..(two wrappers cut into fourths, put in filling on one square and covered with other wrapper square and pressing shut)

    two with left over chili as filling and the other two with spaghetti sauce, tiny bit of mozzarella, two litle chucks of bell pepper and my usual sprinklings of italian spices..baked for 15 minutes at 425 flipping them half way inbetween.....man o man they were good!!

    My head is spinning with all the possible fillings I am going to try.

    "I'm an eggroll and I like to rap."
    "If you eat a lot of me your gonna crap."

    Hows that for a Eggroll Rap?
