A friend of mine made these egg rolls for my birthday treat several years ago. They are the best I have ever eaten.Becky Aylor, Sisters, Oregon

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 2/3 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 2/3 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 5 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • Oil for deep-fat frying
  • DIP:
  • 1 cup ranch salad dressing
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and mashed
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients. Place 1/4 cup of chicken mixture in the center of one egg roll wrapper. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Fold bottom corner over filling. Fold sides toward center over filling. Moisten remaining corner with water; roll up tightly to seal. Repeat.
  2. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°.

  4. Meanwhile, combine the dip ingredients. Serve with egg rolls.
