Sharing is caring!

Gluten-Free Southwest Egg Rolls are the perfect crispy mildly spicy appetizer. These tasty little bites will disappear from your table. In any case, these are made with ground turkey, black beans, and Tex-Mex spices. These tasty crispy bites will have you wanting just one more. Indeed, they are also elegant enough to serve for a holiday party or get together.

Gluten-Free Southwest Egg Rolls:

However, once I made my potsticker dough from scratch it led to more ideas that started rolling around in my head.  In all honesty, it is a mix of an empanada and a Mexican flavored egg roll. In a word, it is similar to an appetizer I used to eat at a local restaurant. In conclusion, since, it is not gluten-free I can’t enjoy it anymore. I, therefore, wanted to recreate this tasty treat but healthier and gluten-free. Needless to say, it is the perfect light lunch or even an appetizer. Consequently, I have had several of these with a small salad for dinner too.

At any rate, once they are cut lengthwise you won’t be able to resist eating them. Incidentally, if you have never used cassava flour to bake or cook with I highly recommend reading my Cassava Flour Information blog post. In short, Amazon carries Cassava Flour, cumin, chili powder, and Tortilla Presses.

Personal Notes:

By the way, I don’t do well with negativity. Hence, I am always looking for the brighter side of things. Subsequently, I hope in some small way my blog can help lift you up. Nevertheless, I found this on Facebook, I don’t know who wrote it or where it is from. However, it made me feel good. In any event,  I thought I would share it with you today. Furthermore, it is my sincere hope that the quote below uplifts your day.

“Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles. A fresh pot of coffee you don’t have to make yourself…. An unexpected phone call from an old friend… Green stoplights on your way to work…The fastest line at the grocery store… A good sing-along song on the radio… Your Keys right where you left them.”

In conclusion, it is my hope that your day is blessed and filled with contentment.

Directions:

First, add ground turkey to a large bowl. Second, add the remaining ingredients to the ground turkey. Finally, using your hands thoroughly combine the ingredients. Finally, place plastic wrap over the turkey mixture and place in the fridge for approximately 1 hour to allow the ingredients to meld. Pull off small pieces of dough and roll into a ball. Place a sheet of plastic wrap down on an open tortilla press. Next, put the ball of dough onto the plastic wrap.

Finally, lay another piece of plastic wrap down on top of the dough. Press the dough. You will get a thin circle. Meanwhile, open the tortilla press and remove the top plastic and lift egg roll wrapper up. Next, using a large square cookie cutter cut out the dough. Remove the turkey mixture from the fridge. Next, spoon approximately 2 teaspoons of turkey mixture on to a circle of potsticker/egg roll wrapper. Finally, roll sides in then roll the bottom up while rolling up to the top.  Next, dip your finger in the water and rub on the remaining side to seal the roll press down on the dough. Finally, repeat with the remaining dough and tortilla press. Repeat with the remaining dough. Until all dough is used.

Finally, once all the dough is used up and made into rolls add avocado oil to a frying pan and heat on medium. Lastly, once the oil is hot add several rolls to the pan and fry 3 minutes per side until all sides of the rolls are browned. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Place rolls on a dish or cut in half lengthwise. In conclusion, try with my Ranch Guacamole dip I call Guanch Dip.
