BAKED SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN EGG ROLLS WITH AVOCADO RANCH DIPPING SAUCE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• For egg rolls: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare baking sheets with cooking spray. In a large bowl mix together chicken, corn, beans, spinach, cheese, chiles, onions, cumin, chili powder, salt and cayenne pepper. Using a small spoon, scoop a small amount of filling onto the wrapper. Starting at a corner, carefully start to roll the wrapper. When it's slightly rolled, tuck in the two side and continue rolling to the last point. Wet your finger with water and dab a bit on the corner to seal the egg roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Place on baking sheet, not allowing egg rolls to touch. Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray and bake for 7 minutes.
