Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 cup corn, canned or frozen
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 10-12 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
Avocado Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, spinach, corn, black beans, bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Use a little water to seal the edges. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a large skillet, heat about an inch of oil over medium heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- While the egg rolls are frying, prepare the avocado sauce by blending the avocado, Greek yogurt, garlic, lime juice, and salt in a food processor until smooth. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Once the egg rolls are done frying, serve them hot with the avocado sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
