Southwestern Eggrolls

I had my first Southwestern Egg rolls at Chili's. I went there with my husband,he ordered Southwestern egg rolls along with other things that i don't remember. I took a bite and it was delicious. I love them. I told my husband,that i would try to make them sometime.I wrote down anything that i saw on stuffing of the egg rolls. I had to search online about how to wrap the tortillas though. I made them not long after and they turned out good!. You can always use instant taco seasoning,but i decided to make my own. I serve them with ranch dressing dip. Enjoy!
