• ▢ 2 green onions
• ▢ Juice of 1 lime
• ▢ 1 cup Greek yogurt

  14 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic

• Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken for a few minutes on each side until cooked through. Once the chicken has cooled slightly, chop into small pieces.

• Add the cooked chicken and the rest of the egg roll ingredients (except the wrappers) to a large bowl. Stir to combine.

  1 can black beans, 1 1/2 cups corn, 1/2 red bell pepper, 8 ounces green chiles, 2 green onions, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt

• Place an egg roll wrapper down in a diamond shape. Wet the top point of the wrapper with your finger. Place 1/4 cup of filling in the center of the wrapper. Take the bottom point of the wrapper and fold it up over the filling. Take the two points on each side and fold them into the middle of the egg roll, and roll everything up. Once rolled, ensure the outside seam is sealed. Repeat this step until the filling is gone.

  20 egg roll wrappers

  

• Place the chicken egg rolls on a baking sheet and give them a quick spritz of cooking spray or lightly brush each roll with olive oil.

• Bake the egg rolls for 15-17 minutes, flipping them halfway through so they are browned on both sides.

  

• While the egg rolls are baking, prepare the dipping sauce. Add all the dipping sauce ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
