Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, and onion.
  2. Mix in cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well incorporated.
Assembly
  1. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner facing you.
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the bottom half of the wrapper.
  3. Fold the corners over the filling and roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with a little water.
Cooking
  1. In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat.
  2. Once hot (about 350°F), carefully add a few egg rolls at a time, frying until they turn golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serving
  1. These egg rolls are perfect on their own, but serve with creamy avocado dip or zesty salsa on the side.

Notes

Substitutions: Use Halal ground turkey or a mixture of beans for a vegetarian option. Keep an eye on frying to prevent burning, and avoid overfilling the egg rolls.
