Southwestern Egg Rolls

First of all let me apologize for my pictures..most food blogs have these beautiful pictures of the food they make..since I wasn't thinking about doing this I really just have these snap shots taken with my phone. I'll get better about that!

So here's what happened:
Because of the out-of-work thing we have been the recipients of all sorts of kindnesses, the latest was a couple of gift cards, one of which was to Chili's & was specifically ear-marked for a date night. So, last Friday, hubs & I headed out to Chili's for some kid-less conversation & some good food..that I didn't have to prepare! ;) MY favorite, favorite thing at Chili's is the Southwestern Eggrolls & as you know, they are not healthy. Our standard line about some of the foods we used to eat, that we no longer do .."that's not part of the plan" & those Eggrolls are not part of the plan! So, we had fajitas..which we ate minus those pesky flour tortillas!
The next day I was at the grocery store & happened upon Eggroll wraps & BING .. lightbulb idea .. I set out to find a healthy substitute.
Here it is..let me first say this. I've made them once, we loved them BUT they are different from Chili's which are actually made in tortillas not Eggroll wraps. I thought they were a little bit chewy & wondered about maybe just flipping the oven to broil for a bit at the end to see if I could crisp them up a bit more. Also..I've a few ideas to change it up & I'll share those below.

BAKED Southwestern Eggrolls
Filling:
2 C frozen corn thawed
1 can Balck Beans rinsed & drained
1 10 oz packaged Frozen Spinach
1 C Reduced Fat Mexican Mix cheese (Here's my first adjustment) We don't eat Reduced Fat Cheese..we eat FAT FREE cheese & I have only been able to find Mild Cheddar so that's what I used
1 can green chilis drained
4 green onions chopped
1 t cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
cayenne to taste.

1 package eggroll wraps (I found them at Walmart in the produce section. For you Cypress gals..at the end nearest the bakery, in the cool case that backs up to the freezer section, near the prepackaged salads) I think there were maybe 20ish in the package.
That's the recipe I started with: I added 2 chicken breasts cooked & chopped into small pieces, also 1/4 C red onion for color
What I didn't add but will next time: green pepper, jalapeno & maybe some cilantro (I love it!)
I also thought I would maybe try some fat free cream cheese instead of or in addition to the cheddar.

Combine all of the previous ingredients. Put 1/4 C of the mixture in the center of your wrap. Fold the bottom corner over the folling. Fold sides in toward the center & over the filling. Moisten the remaining corner with water; roll up tightly & seal. Repeat with all wraps & filling.
Place seam side down on a baking sheet coated with baking spray. Spray egg rolls with cooking spray. (that's why they look glossy in the pic it helps them brown up & get crunchy) Bake 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until they are lightly brown. Turn them half way through the baking.

So there...it is girls!
Oh! one more thing. At Chili's they serve them with an avacado ranch sauce. I mashed an avacado added a little garlic salt, about a T of salsa & 2 T of FAT FREE Hidden Valley Ranch & it was YUMM-O!!

Happy Cooking!
