Steps:
- Heat butter in a medium size skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the green pepper, garlic, green & red onion to the pan and saute for a couple minutes until tender.
- Dice the cooked chicken into small cubes and add it to the pan.
- Add the corn, black beans, spinach, parsley, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, season salt, garlic salt, cayenne pepper and white pepper to the pan. Cook for another 4 minutes. Stir well so that the spinach separates and is incorporated into the mixture.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted.
- Place tortillas in a plastic ziploc bag with a moist cloth or paper towel and microwave on high temperature for 30 to 35 seconds or until hot.
- Spoon one-sixth of the mixture into the center of a tortilla. Fold in the ends and then roll the tortilla over the mixture. Roll the tortilla very tight, then pierce with a wooden pick to hold together. Repeat with the remaining ingredients until you have five eggrolls.
- Preheat 4-6 cups of oil to 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, while the oil is heating, make the avocado ranch dipping sauce by combining smashed avocado, finely minced tomato, finely minced red onion, ranch dressing (I usually use Hidden Valley Ranch. It seams to make this dip taste the best), sour cream, season salt, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic oil, dill weed, garlic powder & pepper in a small bowl and mix well and sit in the refrigerator.
- Deep fry the eggrolls in the hot oil for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain for about 2 minutes.
- Slice each eggroll diagonally lengthwise and arrange on a plate around a bed of lettuce topped with the dipping sauce along with the garnish of chopped tomato and onion along top.
- It is also a great make ahead idea for quick snacks.
- Arrange the eggrolls on a plate, cover the plate with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours. Overnight is best. Deep fry the eggrolls in the hot oil for 12-15 minutes and remove to paper towels or a rack to drain for about 2 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat barbecue grill to high heat. Rub the chicken breast with some vegetable oil then grill it on the barbecue for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until done. Lightly salt and pepper each side of the chicken while it cooks. Set chicken aside until it cools down enough to handle. Preheat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper and onion to the pan and sauté for a couple minutes until tender. Dice the cooked chicken into small cubes and add it to the pan. Add the corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeno peppers, parsley, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper to the pan. Cook for another 4 minutes. Stir well so that the spinach separates and is incorporated into the mixture. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted. Wrap the tortillas in a moist cloth and microwave on high temperature for 1 1/2 minutes or until hot. Spoon approximately one-fifth of the mixture into the center of a tortilla. Fold in the ends and then roll the tortilla over the mixture. Roll the tortilla very tight, then pierce with a toothpick to hold together. Repeat with the remaining ingredients until you have five eggrolls. Arrange the eggrolls on a plate, cover the plate with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours. Overnight is best. While the eggrolls freeze prepare the avocado-ranch dipping sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Preheat 4-6 cups of oil to 375 degrees.. Deep fry the eggrolls in the hot oil for 12-15 minutes and remove to paper towels or a rack to drain for about 2 minutes. Slice each eggroll diagonally lengthwise and arrange on a plate around a small bowl of the dipping sauce. Garnish the dipping sauce with the chopped tomato and onion.
Tips:
- Prep the veggies in advance: Chop and dice the vegetables ahead of time to save time during the assembly process.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the vegetables and egg roll wrappers.
- Don't overfill the egg rolls: Overfilling the egg rolls will make them difficult to fold and seal properly.
- Fry the egg rolls in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the egg rolls. Fry them in batches to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Serve the egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce: Serve the egg rolls with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sweet and sour sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
