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
- 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.
- Season cooked chicken with paprika, salt and pepper.
- Fold seasoned chicken into the bean and corn mixture. Stir until well combined.
- In a small bowl, use a fork to whisk together the egg and water. Set aside.
- Scoop 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto an egg roll wrapper.
- Rolling from the bottom, roll halfway up, then fold in sides and roll tightly.
- 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.
