My Favorite New Recipe

Yesterday I spent the evening at a fabulous Margarita Spa party at my neighbor and good friend MP's house. With the Margarita theme, of course, I had to make something yummy and nutritious with a southwest theme. My choice was southwest chicken spring rolls (baked of course). They were such a hit, I thought I would share the recipe.

2 Chicken Breasts Cooked and Shredded

1 Can of Black Beans (Drained & Rinsed)

1/2 cup frozen corn

1 red onion, diced (use half if its a really big onion)

2 cloves garlic, chopped

A handful of chopped fresh parsley

1 cup of 2% milk mexican blend cheeses

1 tsp of chili powder

1 Tbsp cumin

Cayenne pepper to taste (use more if you like them spicy)

1 package of egg roll wrappers

Cooking Spray

Preheat the oven to 400. These are pretty easy to assemble. Mix everything together except for the egg roll wrappers. Position your egg roll wrapper like a diamond instead of a square with one corner towards you. Put the filling on the corner of the egg roll wrapper closest to you, wrap about half way. Tuck the corners in and roll the rest of the way. Use water to seal the other end of egg roll wrapper and lay seam side down on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. If you like them extra crispy, you can lightly spray the tops when you are done. Then bake them for 15 minutes turning them over after about 8 minutes.

If you have leftover filling, they made great Quesadillas in whole wheat tortillas for lunch!

I like to serve them with homemade salsa and homemade guacamole. They went perfect with the Margaritas too!
