Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, drained corn, black beans, chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and diced jalapeño. Mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes until well incorporated.
- Add cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well for an additional minute. Gently fold in Monterey Jack cheese.
- Take an egg roll wrapper and lay it on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal edges with water.
- For frying, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F. If baking, preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If frying, place egg rolls in hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. For baking, arrange on the baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Transfer cooked egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm with dipping sauces like avocado ranch, sour cream, or guacamole.

Notes
Use a thermometer to check oil temperature when frying. Store cooked egg rolls in airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze unbaked for long-term storage.
