Baked Southwest Egg Rolls- So Yum!!

My good friend (and sharer of recipes) Becky shared this recipe with me!!! So yummy!!! From the original recipe, I added chicken and left out green onions... Becky left out the cayenne and added cilantro. You can definitely make this recipe your own and add or delete ingredients!!!

Here is how I made ours...

Ingredients:

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

2 cups frozen corn, thawed

1 (15 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 (10 oz.) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles, drained

1 tsp. ground cumin

½ tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. salt

½ tsp. pepper

¼ tsp. cayenne pepper

1 package egg roll wrappers (about 24 total)

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine everything but the egg roll wrappers. Mix well to blend. Lay an egg roll wrapper out on a work surface so that one of the corners is pointing toward you and place ¼ cup of the filling in the center. Fold the tip closest to you up over the filling, roll a bit, then take the points pointing outward and fold them in toward the center. Continue rolling into an egg roll shape until a small part of the remaining point is still free. Dip a finger in water or beaten egg and lightly brush on the edges of the free corner. Finish rolling and press to seal closed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Lightly oil a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the sealed egg rolls on the baking sheet seam side down and spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly brown, turning halfway through baking. Serve warm with salsa.

The filling all mixed together

Getting ready to wrap it...

All baked and ready to eat...

Let the eating begin!!!!

Oh and Luci really liked them too...a great way to get yummy veggies in her (spinach!!!) without her realizing it!!! It is a win win!!!!
