I usually quadruple this recipe because we like them so much. We use egg roll wrappers, no jalapeno peppers and regular milk instead of buttermilk in the dressing. Even my kids like these and my Dh practically salivates at the mention of them. We also never freeze them I think using the egg roll wrappers makes that unnecessary. The dip is great too. I think they are better than the original. MMMmmmm.

    Im reviewing these for a second time.. My first review for these was in July 2003. Since then I have made these several times. I made these a couple of nights ago for a dinner party, and everyone was impressed by them; they thought they made for great presentation and the flavors were fabulous!! I used a pungent red chile powder instead of the cayenne, for a bit more heat and flavor enhancement... they loved them!! Thanks again for this fabulous recipe

    I don't think I've ever had the original Chili's dish; I tried this recipe because I'd bought some frozen Coyote Grill Southwest Chicken Wraps from Sam's Club that my daughter and I enjoyed, and I was trying to copy them. I knew we'd eat more than 5 eggrolls so I quadrupled the recipe and made 20 eggrolls with a cup or so of filling left over (we ate that on chips!). Instead of grilling fresh chicken, I used precooked frozen grilled chicken strips which I thawed in the microwave and diced before adding to the mixture. Froze them in a foil-lined pan (separated the layers with parchment) and next day I fried some of them in my electric skillet, turning them over halfway through cooking. I did not use the toothpicks and they sealed up just fine (I laid them in the fryer seam side down). As someone else mentioned, I also noticed that they were still a little cold in the middle even though the outside was brown and crispy, but a quick zap in the microwave fixed that. Next time I think I will either not freeze them first, or just let them thaw out more before cooking them. I did not make the sauce this time because I didn't have an avocado on hand, but we dipped them in sour cream and they were really delicious! I will definitely be making this recipe again. Thanks for posting it!!
