Ingredients

🐔 2 chicken breasts, diced very small
🥄 2 tablespoons olive oil
🧄 4 cloves of garlic, minced
🧅 1 large onion, chopped
🌶️ 1 red bell pepper, diced
🌶️ 1 jalapeño, deseeded and chopped
🌿 1 teaspoon coriander
🧂 1 teaspoon onion powder
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🌿 1 teaspoon cumin
🌶️ 1/2 tablespoon paprika
🌶️ 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (or to taste)
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🌽 1 cup of corn
🫘 1 can (15.5 oz) of black beans, drained
🌿 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
🧀 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
🥢 1 package spring roll wraps (or egg roll wraps)
🥄 2 tablespoons flour mixed with ➕
💧 3 to 4 tablespoons water (for sealing the rolls)
🥄 Oil for frying

Instructions

1- Prepare the Filling:

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the diced chicken and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Add the garlic, onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the pan. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables soften.
Season the mixture with coriander, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and chili flakes. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Stir in the salt, corn, black beans, cilantro, and cheddar cheese. Continue mixing until everything is evenly distributed.
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

2- Prepare the Rolls:

Create a slurry by mixing the flour and water together to form a paste.
Lay a spring roll wrap flat and place a couple of tablespoons of the filling in the center.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll it up tightly.
Use the flour slurry to seal the edge of the roll. Repeat with the remaining wraps and filling.

3- Fry the Rolls:

In a deep skillet, heat oil for frying over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully fry the spring rolls in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes each.
Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
