Follow these easy steps to create mouthwatering Southwest Egg Rolls:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.

3. Roll the Egg Roll: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly towards the top corner to seal. Use a little water on the edge to help seal it properly.

4. Repeat: Continue this process until all the filling is used or you run out of wrappers.

5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium heat. Ensure there’s enough oil to submerge the egg rolls halfway.

6. Fry the Egg Rolls: Place the egg rolls in the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

7. Drain and Cool: Once cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

8. Optional Oven Baking: For a healthier option, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the rolled egg rolls on a baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
