Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cooked chicken, 1/2 cup black beans, 1/2 cup corn kernels, 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
