This Southwest-style Weight Watchers Egg Roll in a bowl has everything that I want in a dinner recipe. It’s hearty, flavorful, a little spicy, and it tastes like takeout (but much healthier). Oh, did I mention this is a WW zero point recipe?
I love that this recipe comes together in one pan, just like my easy Chicken and Rice, Instant Pot Meatloaf and Potatoes, and Chipotle Chicken Copycat recipe.
Thanks a bunch, Becca! I was a little skeptical but I made this last night exactly as written (stovetop method) and it was awesome! The sauce complemented the dish perfectly, and there was only a subtle, smoky heat! Definitely going into the rotation!

Why I love this Egg Roll in a Bowl
A filling one pot meal that has a ton of veggies isn’t the easiest weeknight feat, but this recipe checks all of the boxes! Filling veggies, black beans and corn, and lean chicken come together to get dinner on the table tonight in less than 30 minutes.
Enjoy!

Ingredients in WW Southwest Egg Roll in a Bowl
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Chipotle chili powder: If you can’t find this, you can use ancho chile powder.
- Canned beans and corn: get low sodium, and drain and rinse these before using.
- Broccoli slaw: Broccoli slaw is made from the stalks of broccoli. You can purchase it in your produce section, or make it yourself in the food processor.
- Coleslaw mix: You can buy a bagged mix or make your own by shredding cabbage and carrots in the food processor.
Zero Point Creamy Chipotle Ranch Dressing Ingredients
This is what makes this a spicy recipe! If you’d rather skip the spice, leave out or reduce the chipotle chili powder.
Becca’s Tip
Add the below ingredients to a mason jar, then close it up and shake to mix. Store the mason jar in the fridge until you’re ready to eat!
How to make WW Egg Roll in a Bowl on the Stove
Step 1: Lightly spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add cubed chicken, onions, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
Cook over medium high heat until chicken is browned and onions are beginning to soften.
Step 2: Add corn, black beans, bell peppers, green chilis, broccoli slaw, and coleslaw.
Cover, and simmer on medium for 10-15 minutes until the cabbage shrinks and the chicken reaches 165°F and is no longer pink.
Step 3: While the rest of the recipe is cooking, mix together the chipotle ranch dressing ingredients.
Step 4: Remove the lid and stir in cilantro.
Step 5: Serve topped with 2 tbsp of chipotle ranch dressing. You can also top with lime juice, avocado, and jalapeños, but don’t forget to calculate points for these extras.
Recipe Tips
- If you’re looking for more spice, add a few jalapeños before cooking, and ¼ to ½ tsp of cayenne pepper. A little goes a long way!
- Traditional eggrolls have pork in them. You can absolutely add ground pork to this recipe, but you will need to account for the points.
Southwest Egg Roll in a Bowl FAQs
You can easily make these into traditional egg rolls, just add the recipe to wonton wrappers after you make it, then air fry to crisp up the wrapper.
If you’re looking to reduce the carbs, only add half the corn and black beans, or omit them completely.
I wouldn’t recommend making this recipe for meal prep. It’s best eaten right after you cook it, because the cabbage gets very soft within a day. If you really want to make it for meal prep, I’d use broccoli slaw instead of coleslaw because it’s a bit more hearty.

Scrumptious one dish meal that’s quick & easy to prepare that your family will LOVE!!!
Loved it! I added 2 packets of splenda to the dressing for a touch of sweetness. It was a perfect addition as was a light sprinkling of sea salt. The next time, though, I will be cutting the chitpotle in half. It was a bit overpowering. Also, I didn’t have green chilis so I seeded and diced 2 jalapeños for a substitute. It was delicious!
Are kcal and calorie the same?
Yes! :)
I absolutely love this dish!!! The chipotle ranch dressing really makes the dish!! The spice level was perfect!! And for ZERO POINTS!!!! I will make this one regularly!!!
How many calories?
Hi Tarah, All of the nutrition information is at the bottom of the recipe :)
Delicious will be making this again!
This recipe looked good but it was so spicy from the chipotle chili pepper that my mouth and lips were burning. I couldn’t eat it. And I like spicy food! I used the McCormick chipotle chili powder. I’m going to try it again with regular chili powder.
I hope that helps it be not as spicy! :)
We just made it again with regular chili powder and it’s great! We added shredded cheese because we had some extra points for the day. :)
When I put the nutrition info in the weight watchers app it tells me 1 serving is 4 blue points?
I just double checked and the recipe as written with fat free yogurt and no additional toppings is free on the blue plan. If you’re using different products it could be calculating as more. I’d double check your yogurt and chicken breast to make sure they’re pulling into the recipe correctly :)
The olive oil, even at 6 servings, is 1 point
Hi Jessica, I just checked again and 1 tsp of olive oil is one point on the blue plan, but once you say that it’s 6 servings, it bumps down to 0 points per serving. The blue points for this recipe as calculated on the WW website using the recipe builder is zero points. :)
Yes!! This is so good, I love how nutrient-dense it is!
I love that there is no frying in this recipe! My family will LOVE it!
Can I use ground chicken?
I used diced chicken breast, but you could easily use ground poultry or beef :)
Way too spicy!! Not egg roll taste.. The dressing was horrible until,I added low fat ranch dressing. Would,have helped if you’d of had amounts of ingredients. My husband couldn’t eat it, too spicy, I ate my allowed amount and will,freeze,the rest…I just,hate throwing out,food! Not a fan
I’m sorry you didn’t like this recipe, Betsy! The ingredient amounts are always listed in the printable recipe at the bottom of the post. I’m a little confused about how you made this recipe without the ingredient amounts? If you try it again using the correct recipe, I hope you love it!
We loved it! Spicy and all the flavor!
