# Instructions:
01 -
Heat up some oil in a large skillet and cook the diced red peppers until they're soft. Stir in the spinach, jalapeño, beans, green onions, corn, and spices like cayenne, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Stir it all up for about 3 or 4 minutes until everything softens nicely.
02 -
Move your cooked veggies into a big mixing bowl. Toss in the cooked shredded chicken, cheese, and minced cilantro. Stir it all around to make sure everything is balanced and ready.
03 -
Spread an egg roll wrapper on your work surface, pointing one corner toward you. Put a small pile (about 1/4 cup) of filling in the middle. Fold up the corner closest to you, tuck in the sides, and roll it tight. Wet the last corner with water and seal it. Do this for all the wrappers.
04 -
Get your frying oil to about 375°F (190°C). Fry the egg rolls in smaller batches for about 3 to 4 minutes, until they're crunchy and golden brown. Let them drain on paper towels after frying.
05 -
Pop the ranch, avocado, lime, buttermilk, chopped cilantro, garlic, salt, and onion powder into a blender. Blend until it’s smooth and creamy. Use it as a dipping sauce with your crispy egg rolls.
