For the Filling

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Cook your chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), approximately 20-25 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly and shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, chopped jalapeño, diced red bell pepper, and fresh spinach. Add spices and mix well until combined.
  3. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond orientation. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner. Roll tightly and seal the edges.
  4. If frying, heat oil in a pan to 375°F (190°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. For baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  5. Allow the egg rolls to cool for a minute before serving with salsa or guacamole.
