Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup ranch dressing (120g)
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves (25g)
  • ¼ cup sour cream (60g)
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 cups chopped fresh spinach

Method
 

  1. For the Dipping Sauce: In a blender, combine ranch dressing, sour cream, cilantro, avocado, lime juice, and salt. Puree until smooth.
  2. Chill the sauce until ready to serve. It stays vibrant for a day or two.
  3. For the Egg Rolls: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add vegetable oil, red onion, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add spinach and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in black beans and cooked chicken. Let the mixture cool slightly.
  6. Place an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Spoon filling in the center and top with cheese. Fold bottom corner up, then side corners in, and roll tightly. Moisten edges with water to seal.
  7. Fry the egg rolls in hot vegetable oil until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

- Ensure the filling is cool before wrapping to prevent tearing the wrappers.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when frying; cook in batches for optimal crispiness.
- For a spicier kick, add finely diced jalapeños to the filling mixture.
