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. Turn the egg rolls over and bake on the other side for an additional 7 minutes. For avocado ranch: Place all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth. Use immediately.
EASIEST BAKED SOUTHWESTERN EGGROLLS WITH AVOCADO RANCH DIP
I love Southwestern Eggrolls but didn't like the grease and salt that went along with them. Now I make them at home and they are super easy to make and better for you. I serve them for dinner, instead of as an appetizer. Durring the week I use chicken I've already cooked and dried onion flakes so it doesn't take a lot of time but you could cook the chicken and some fresh onion before adding the rest of the filling ingreidents if you prefer. Also, the filling can be frozen and used later if you wanted to make less of the rolls. I did use low sodium or no salt added corn and beans, but the site didn't recognize those varieties.

Steps:
- Heat butter in a medium size skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the green pepper, garlic, green & red onion to the pan and saute for a couple minutes until tender.
- Dice the cooked chicken into small cubes and add it to the pan.
- Add the corn, black beans, spinach, parsley, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, season salt, garlic salt, cayenne pepper and white pepper to the pan. Cook for another 4 minutes. Stir well so that the spinach separates and is incorporated into the mixture.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted.
- Place tortillas in a plastic ziploc bag with a moist cloth or paper towel and microwave on high temperature for 30 to 35 seconds or until hot.

- Preheat 4-6 cups of oil to 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, while the oil is heating, make the avocado ranch dipping sauce by combining smashed avocado, finely minced tomato, finely minced red onion, ranch dressing (I usually use Hidden Valley Ranch. It seams to make this dip taste the best), sour cream, season salt, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic oil, dill weed, garlic powder & pepper in a small bowl and mix well and sit in the refrigerator.
- Deep fry the eggrolls in the hot oil for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain for about 2 minutes.
- Slice each eggroll diagonally lengthwise and arrange on a plate around a bed of lettuce topped with the dipping sauce along with the garnish of chopped tomato and onion along top.
- It is also a great make ahead idea for quick snacks.
- Arrange the eggrolls on a plate, cover the plate with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours. Overnight is best. Deep fry the eggrolls in the hot oil for 12-15 minutes and remove to paper towels or a rack to drain for about 2 minutes.
