Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons green onion minced
  • 2 Tablespoons red bell pepper minced
  • ⅓ cup frozen corn
  • ¼ cup canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 Tablespoons frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
  • 2 Tablespoons jalapeno peppers (diced - remove seeds for less heat)
  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and diced)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • pinch cayenne pepper
  • ¾ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 egg roll wrappers

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add green onion and red bell pepper and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until soft.
  • Add corn, black beans, spinach and jalapeño peppers and cook until heated through.
  • Add the chicken, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the cheese.
  • Place egg roll wrapper on a flat, clean surface with a corner facing you, and add about 1/4 cup of filling to the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the corner facing you over the filling, tuck in the sides, and finish rolling.
  • Place egg rolls on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Spray the tops of egg rolls with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Notes

  • If you are thinking of using this as an appetizer, it was taking into consideration 1 egg roll per person. It makes about 6 egg rolls. So if you want if for a meal and you can eat 3, then this would be 2 servings.
