PREP TIME10 minutes

COOK TIME10 minutes

TOTAL TIME20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 medium red bell pepper,-diced
• 1 cup frozen corn, thawed 
• 1 cup canned black bean, drained and rinsed 
• 2 green onions, finely sliced
• 1 Tbsp canned pickled jalapeños, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup reduced fat or fat free cheese, shredded 
• 1 ½ cup cooked skinless, boneless chicken- shredded, diced, or cubed 
• 1/2 tsp paprika 
• 1/2 tsp salt 
• 1/4 tsp black pepper 
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp onion powder 
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp water
• 12 egg roll wrappers

Skinny Avocado Ranch Dip (optional)

• 1 cup skinny ranch dressing or any light ranch dressing
• 3 oz. smashed avocado or 100 calorie mini guacamole cup

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bell pepper, corn, black beans, pickled jalapeños, green onions,, cheese and salt and pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Set aside.
2. Season cooked chicken with paprika, salt and pepper. 
3. Fold seasoned chicken into the bean and corn mixture. Stir until well combined. 
4. In a small bowl, use a fork to whisk together the egg and water. Set aside.
5. Scoop 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto an egg roll wrapper.
6. Rolling from the bottom, roll halfway up, then fold in sides and roll tightly. 
7. Seal with a drop of egg wash then brush the egg rolls with egg wash all around-so both sides of the egg rolls are covered with egg wash.

• Place egg rolls in an air fryer basket. Be sure the egg rolls are not touching–cook in batches, if needed.
• Cook at 380 degrees for 5 minutes. 
• Flip the egg rolls and continue cooking for 3-5 more minutes or until the egg roll wrappers are golden brown and crispy.  
• Cooking times can vary depending on the brand and size of your air fryer. (I have an 5.8 quart air fryer and I cook six at a time at 380 degrees and it takes roughly 8-10 minutes total.)

Oven Directions:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Bake the egg rolls for about 15 minutes or until the egg roll wrappers are golden brown and crispy.  
• Remove the egg rolls from the oven.
