Instructions
Sprinkle chicken evenly on both sides with salt, seasoning and pepper
Grill on grill pan with about a tablespoon of oil. Grill chicken until cooked through, about five minutes per side. You may do this using a fry pan; instead of 1 tablespoon of oil use 2 tablespoons.Let set for a few minutes. Cut chicken into bite size pieces
In a medium- large skillet, add oil, onions, garlic, and green pepper until soft. Sauté, for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent any burns.
Then add beans, corn, and spinach until heated through. Then add chicken, cumin, chili, powder, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper.
Mix well until all the ingredients have come together. Remove from the heat and stir in cheese.
Place tortilla or 2 spring roll wrappers or on a chopping board or work surface then place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each of the tortilla.
Roll the tortilla around the chicken mixture, folding the edges inward. And begin to roll with end nearest to you. Brush the edges with flour paste before final roll to keep the rolls sealed. Set aside.
Heat up a medium skillet or cast iron with oil up to 2 inch- medium-high heat 350 degrees F. until hot but not smoking.
Gently drop the southwestern roll in the fry pan and fry in batches, turning once, until golden brown, about 5-8 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan (it will absorb excess oil, resulting in a soggy rolls)
Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg rolls and place them on paper towels.

We love it. My kids are usually picky when it comes to roll or pies but first time they finished a roll. They told me that they don't only like it but they love it. I did both baking and frying. But I like the baking more, not only does it taste good but it's also eating friendly by avoiding extra calories. The kids enjoyed the fried ones though.
I am all about looks.... deep fried it is for me. Sorry!
My mouth actually drooled when I saw the picture of the fried version. I KNOW I should get excited about the baked version.....but why lie to myself, fried things are always better! That is a serious stuffing. You really know your cooking! This is an AWESOME filling for an egg roll. It's like a fully loaded version!
