Half a cup of ranch dressing
18 -
1 ripe avocado, mashed well
19 -
2 tablespoons buttermilk
20 -
1 1/2 teaspoons of lime juice
21 -
A quarter teaspoon salt
22 -
A quarter teaspoon of garlic powder
23 -
A quarter teaspoon of onion powder
24 -
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large pan, warm up olive oil and cook the diced red bell pepper until it softens. Toss in green onions, jalapeño, corn, spinach, and black beans. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne. Let everything cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the veggies are softer.
02 -
Pour the cooked veggie mix into a large bowl. Add the shredded chicken, Monterey Jack, and chopped cilantro. Stir well so everything’s combined.
03 -
Lay an egg roll wrapper down so a pointed corner faces you. Put about 1/4 cup of the filling right in the middle. Fold up the bottom corner, then fold in the sides, and roll everything tightly. Wet the top corner with water so it sticks. Do this for the rest of the wrappers.
04 -
Heat the frying oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry a few egg rolls at a time, cooking each for about 3 to 4 minutes until they’re golden with a crispy exterior. Drain on paper towels to remove extra oil.
05 -
Combine ranch dressing, mashed avocado, buttermilk, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and cilantro in a blender. Blend everything into a smooth mixture. Serve it with the freshly fried egg rolls.
# Notes:
01 -
If you like less heat, skip or use less jalapeño.
02 -
Corn can be fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed before using.
