- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ¾ cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- ¾ cup canned corn, drained
- ¾ cup small-diced red bell pepper
- ½ cup finely chopped fresh baby spinach
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapenos
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Additional Ingredients:

Instructions
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine chicken, cheese, beans, corn, bell pepper, spinach, scallions, jalapenos, and spices.
- Prepare the Wrappers: Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing towards you. Spoon ¼ cup of the filling onto the bottom middle.
- Roll the Egg Rolls: Roll the bottom corner tightly over the filling, fold the sides, seal the top with water, then roll completely.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat oil to 375°F in a deep fryer or pot. Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Drain on paper towels, transfer to a wire rack, cut diagonally, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Drain canned ingredients well to avoid soggy filling.
- Consider baking for a healthier alternative.
- Freeze uncooked rolls for later use.
