DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeños, cheese, chipotle ranch dressing and seasonings.
Place an egg roll wrapper down to make a diamond shape. Scoop ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture onto an egg roll wrapper toward the top. Fold the top over. Then fold in both sides, making an "envelope" shape. Brush all the edges with water. Continue to roll the bottom of the envelope towards the top of the diamond, folding in the sides as needed. Brush water on the top of the egg roll flap to secure it and place seam side down.
Lightly spray each egg roll with cooking spray prior to adding it to the air fryer.
Place the egg rolls in an air fryer at 375° Fahrenheit. Make sure there is space between each egg roll, you may need to cook in batches. Cook for 6-8 minutes. Using thongs, flip and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Carefully remove the egg rolls from the air fryer. Serve with desired dipping sauce. Chipotle ranch dressing, guacamole, salsa and or sour cream! Enjoy.
