What to make with leftover Smoked Chicken Birria?! Besides the obvious choice of birria tacos, I also make these incredible Birria Egg Rolls.

I also have recipes for Slow Cooker Chicken Birria AND Slow Cooker Beef Birria if you don’t go with the smoked version 🙂

How to make Birria Egg Rolls

Starting with cold leftover birria is key because this stuff is juicy.

And really all ya need besides the cold birria are egg roll wrappers, shredded cheese, and vegetable oil for deep frying.

Lay an egg roll wrapper flat and add some cheese to the center.

I went with a Mexican cheese blend, but use any cheese you like.

Then pile on some of the cold birria right on top of the cheese.

Then dip your finger in some water and trace around the edges of the egg roll wrapper.

This will help the wrapper seal properly so you don’t lose any of the yummy goodness while frying.

And just repeat this process to make a few more birria egg rolls.

Birria Eggs Rolls before folding and rolling

Fill a saucepan about 2 inches deep with vegetable oil and set it over medium heat on the stove.

After about 5 minutes check with a thermometer and once we are at 350 degrees gently drop in a few egg rolls.

They will cook a minute or two per side until golden brown.

Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.

Birria Egg Rolls are so cheesy and saucy, highly addictive!!

I planned to dip them in the extra saucy goodness from the birria, but honestly they were perfection just like this.
