Tracy K's Note:

A delicious and inventive use of Asian won ton wrappers. Similar to the one served at Friday's, but better! Source: Chef Sandy Patterson

I've been eyeing these forever. They are terrific. I committed a cardinal sin and left out the andouille sausage, but I added more roasted corn and a few more black beans and it was fine. I got 15 fat egg rolls from this recipe. We also served with the remoulade Tracy mentions in the introduction. Next time I will probably also serve with guacamole or salsa, just for a change. Loved this!! Thanks!

These were really good & a nice change of pace. The only changes I made were to add fresh jalapenos, (seeded & diced), shredded carrots, & more than a pinch of cumin. The flavor was spicy, without being too hot. I served these with guacomole, sour cream, & salsa. I will make these again.
