Equipment

  • Air Fryer (or Oven)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Can Black Beans, Drained and rinsed
  • 1 Can Corn, Drained and rinsed
  • 1 Cup Onions Approx. 1 whole medium onion, I used red onion
  • 1 Cup Red Bell Peppers, diced I used 1 whole red pepper which was loosely 1 cup
  • 1 Cup Green Bell Pepper, diced I used 1 whole green pepper which was loosely 1 cup
  • 4 Sprigs Green Onion, Diced
  • 2 Cups Sweet Potato, finely diced Approx. 1 whole medium sweet potato
  • 1/2 Cup Parsley, roughly chopped and loosely packed
  • 4 oz Can chipotle in adobo sauce Note: this is spicy! If you do not like spice, you can omit the chipotle sauce and prepare vegan chick’n to normal package instructions
  • 2 vegan "chicken" fillets
  • 1 Package Vegan wonton wrappers You probably won't use the whole package, use as few or as many as you need depending on how many people you are serving

Instructions
 

  • Heat medium sized pan to medium-high heat, pour out can of chipotle in adobe sauce into pan with a splash or two of water. Add in your vegan chick’n fillets and coat with the sauce on both sides.
  • Bring heat to medium-low and cover pan. Let the vegan chick’n simmer for about 3-4 minutes on each side to soak up the chipotle sauce flavor. Optional: once the vegan chick’n has cooked through in sauce, you can remove excess sauce and sear the chick’n in the pan to give it char marks
  • Remove from heat, slice vegan chick’n into bite sized pieces. Set aside
  • In a separate large pan, heat to medium-high and pour about 1/8 cup of water in pan. Once pan is hot, add diced onions, sweet potato, red and green bell peppers and saute until the onion and bell peppers are translucent, about 3-4 minutes
  • Add black beans, corn and green onions. Mix to combine and heat through

How to assemble your roll

  • Take out 1 vegan wonton wrapper and set it on a flat surface or plate. You want it to be turned to a diamond shape- not a square.
  • Take a scoop of your filling (not too much you want the wrap to easily fold and not be too packed with filling) and place your filling down horizontally. Take the bottom point of your wrap and fold it over the filling, tucking the point under the filling. Fold the 2 side corners and fold them in - it will resemble an open envelope. Fold the filling portion over again so there is only the small top point of the wrap left that has not been folded or wrapped. Dip your fingers (or a brush) in some water and wet the top point of the wrap. Fold the wrap one final time over the wet top corner piece and let it rest on top of the wet corner to dry so it will seal.
  • Repeat this process with your remaining filling/vegan wonton wrappers
  • Preheat air fryer to 350 F. Place about 6 rolls (how many you can put in your air fryer will depend on how large your air fryer basket is. You will likely have to do this in batches. You do not want to overlap/over crowd the rolls in the air fryer).
  • Bake in air fryer for 5 minutes. Open air fryer and flip over every roll. Bake for another 5-8 minutes checking on it every 2 minutes to make sure it does not burn (every air fryer is different so timing may vary basked on air fryer size).
  • Continue this process with remaining batches of rolls.
  • Ready to eat immediately. Enjoy!
