Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken, cooked and diced small or shredded
- 1/3 cup frozen or fresh corn
- 1/3 cup bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 cup green onion, finely sliced
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup fresh spinach, loosely packed and chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cups grated cheese, Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, or Cheddar

Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, corn, bell pepper, green onion, black beans, spinach, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, cumin, and cheese. Mix well.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edges with a bit of water.
- Brush or spray the egg rolls lightly with olive oil for a crispy finish.
- Place egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Do not overfill egg rolls to prevent bursting during cooking.
- Use a toothpick to secure the roll if needed, removing before serving.
- Customize the filling with additional vegetables or spices as desired.
- Leftover egg rolls can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to retain crispiness.
