After making my Baked Mozzarella Sticks, I was inspired to make more egg roll wrapper meals. I've always loved Southwest Egg Rolls in restaurants, but know they are sinful for my health. I decided to make my version of Southwest Egg Rolls, using healthy ingredients and baking them instead of frying. These would make a great appetizer (great for fall football games!) or serve them as a vegetarian meal (that's what I did). They were so good. I'm looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow. 
Ingredients:
2 Cups Frozen Corn, Thawed
1 Can (15 oz) Black Beans, Rinsed and Drained
1 Bag (10 oz) Frozen Chopped Spinach, Thawed and Squeezed Dry
2 Cups Shredded Mexi-blend cheese (Low or Non-Fat)
1 Can (4 oz) Diced Green Chilies, Drained
2 Tbsp. Chives (Green Onions)
2 Tbsp. Dried Cilantro (or 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro)
1 tsp. Cumin (Ground)
1 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1 Package Egg Roll Wrappers, Room Temperature
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all ingredients (minus the egg roll wrappers) in a large bowl and stir well thoroughly mix.
2. Lay an egg roll wrapper out on a work surface so that one of the corners is pointing toward you and put a large spoonful (about 1/4 cup) of the filling in the center. 
3. Fold the tip closest to you up over the filling snugly. You can add a few drops of water to make it stick better.
4. Carefully (here is where it can sometimes break), fold the right and left sides in to the center (use a bit of water again if you desire). 
5. Roll up the wrap and use a bit of water to seal it. Repeat with the remaining filling and wraps.6. Place the sealed egg rolls on the baking sheet (sprayed with cooking spray) seam side down. Spray a little cooking spray on top of the egg rolls.
7. Bake at 400 for 12-17 minutes, or until lightly brown, turning halfway through baking. 
Serve immediately, warm with fresh salsa and ranch sour cream dip. 
Enjoy!
