- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Water for sealing the egg rolls
- Olive oil spray
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, cheddar cheese, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and well combined.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the corners of the wrapper over the filling and roll it tightly, sealing the edges with a little water.
- Place the egg roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with olive oil spray.
- Bake the egg rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the egg rolls hot, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
