Making delicious Southwest Egg Rolls involves a few easy steps. Follow this simple guide:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, thawed corn, cheese, green onions, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
2. Prepare the Egg Roll Wrappers: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface, with one corner facing you.
3. Add Filling: Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper, avoiding the edges.
4. Roll: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tucking it in snugly. Fold in the sides, then continue rolling until you reach the top corner. Seal the edges with a bit of water.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, pour oil to a depth of about 1 inch. Heat over medium heat until shimmering.
6. Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain: Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
8. Bake Option: If you prefer a healthier option, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), place the egg rolls on a lined baking sheet, spray lightly with cooking spray, and bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
9. Serve Hot: Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces, like salsa or guacamole.
