Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
1/4 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves
1 red bell peppers, finely diced
1 small onions, finely diced
2 jalapenos, finely diced
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
1/3 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
15 egg roll wraps

Directions:
Add 1 Tbsp vegetable oil to small skillet; preheat to medium-low. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder & salt.
Rub seasonings mixture onto both sides of both chicken breasts; add chicken breasts to small skillet and cook 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness of your breast – until done, turning at least once.
While chicken is cooking, dice your vegetables.
Once chicken is done, remove from heat; set aside.
Heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in large skillet; add diced red bell pepper, diced onion, minced garlic cloves and jalapenos to oil; saute until veggies are soft.
Once chicken is cool enough to handle, slice into small cubes and add to vegetable mixture.
Stir in frozen corn and black beans; mix thoroughly. Add cayenne now if you want.
Turn heat to low, and slowly add cheese. Once cheese has melted, remove skillet from heat.
To assemble eggrolls:.
Place eggroll wrappers so that the points are facing north/south. Place about 1 1/2 Tbsp of chicken/veggie mixture into center of wrapper. Spread it out log-shaped from side to side, leaving about 1 inch of the wrapper on each side.
Fold bottom point over mixture, then fold in each side. Then roll eggroll up remaining wrapper. I usually seal the final point with a brush of water.
Repeat with each eggroll wrapper.
When all the eggrolls are wrapped, freeze in a single layer for at least 4 hours and up to 2 months.
To cook, place frozen eggrolls on a cookie sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for 13-16 minutes.
I like to dip these in a spicy avocado sauce or salsa.
