Servings 24 egg rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen corn (thawed)
  • 15 ounces canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry)
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 4 ounces canned diced green chiles (drained)
  • 4 green onions (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • egg roll wrappers (about 24 total)
  • olive oil or Canola oil cooking spray

For Serving (Optional):

  • salsa
  • sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.

Make the Filling:

  • In a large bowl, combine everything but the egg roll wrappers. Mix well to blend.

Wrap the Egg Rolls:

  • Lay an egg roll wrapper out on a work surface so that one of the corners is pointing toward you and place 1/4 cup of the filling in the center.
  • Fold the tip closest to you up over the filling, roll a bit, then take the points pointing outward (to the sides) and fold them in toward the center.
  • Continue rolling into an egg roll shape until a small part of the remaining point is still free. Dip a finger in water or beaten egg and lightly brush on the edges of the free corner. Finish rolling and press to seal closed.
  • Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Bake the Egg Rolls:

  • Lightly oil a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the sealed egg rolls on the baking sheet seam side down and spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly brown, turning halfway through baking. Serve warm with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
