Ingredients
- 1 cup finely diced cooked chicken
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
- ¼ cup corn
- ¼ cup canned black beans drained
- 4 tablespoons salsa plus additional for dipping
- 16 teaspoons 1.33 ounces reduced-fat 4 Cheese Mexican blend shredded cheese
- 8 egg roll wraps I use Nasoya brand, which I find in the refrigerated produce section of the grocery store near the vegetarian meats like tofu
- Garnish: sliced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean-up) and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss together chicken, taco seasoning, corn, beans, and salsa.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on the bottom third of one egg roll wrapper. Top with about 1 teaspoon of cheese.
- Fold sides toward center and roll tightly. Tip: Keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Spray tops of egg rolls with cooking spray (this will help them turn golden brown and crispy in the oven).
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Notes
Serving a crowd? This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled -- they go fast!
- Bake them instead of frying. A ton of fat and calories are reduced by doing this and they're still super crispy.
- Use low-fat cheese.
- Use a light cooking spray to grease a baking tray and spray the top of the egg rolls, this helps you control the amount of oil.
- Add extra veggies to the filling for more nutritional value.
