directions

  • 1

    Preheat barbecue grill to high heat.

  • 2

    Rub the chicken breast with some vegetable oil then grill it on the barbecue for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until done.

  • 3

    Lightly salt and pepper each side of the chicken while it cooks.

  • 4

    Set chicken aside until it cools down enough to handle.

  • 5

    Preheat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat.

  • 6

    Add the red pepper and onion to the pan and sauté for a couple minutes until tender.

  • 7

    Dice the cooked chicken into small cubes and add it to the pan.

  • 8

    Add the corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeno peppers, parsley, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper to the pan.

  • 9

    Cook for another 4 minutes.

  • 10

    Stir well so that the spinach separates and is incorporated into the mixture.

  • 11

    Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese.

  • 12

    Stir until the cheese is melted.

  • 13

    Wrap the tortillas in a moist cloth and microwave on high temperature for 1 1/2 minutes or until hot.

  • 14

    Spoon approximately one-fifth of the mixture into the center of a tortilla.

  • 15

    Fold in the ends and then roll the tortilla over the mixture.

  • 16

    Roll the tortilla very tight, then pierce with a toothpick to hold together.

  • 17

    Repeat with the remaining ingredients until you have five egg rolls.

  • 18

    Arrange the egg rolls on a plate, cover the plate with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours.

  • 19

    Overnight is best.

  • 20

    While the egg rolls freeze, prepare the avocado-ranch dipping sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl.

  • 21

    Preheat 4-6 cups of oil to 375 degrees.

  • 22

    Deep fry the egg rolls in the hot oil for 12-15 minutes and remove to paper towels or a rack to drain for about 2 minutes.

  • 23

    Slice each egg roll diagonally lengthwise and arrange on a plate around a small bowl of the dipping sauce.
