Baked Avocado, Black Bean, & Corn Egg Rolls!

Meatless Monday -- I posted these egg rolls on my Instagram account a week ago, and I have been getting great feedback and many questions about how to make them.  I have posted the recipe below with wrapping instructions.  Here are a few quick tips...read the directions on the egg roll wrapper package carefully before assembling.  Also, do not overfill the egg rolls before folding.  You can find egg roll wrappers in the fresh section of most supermarkets!  These baked egg rolls are so delicious, I really hope you give this recipe a try!! Enjoy! XO


Baked Avocado, Black Bean, & Corn Eggrolls

INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 1 ½ cups canned black beans, rinsed 
  • ¾ cup of frozen corn
  • ½ red pepper, diced
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 16 large egg roll wrappers (these can be found in the produce section of your supermarket)
  • olive oil

PROCESS:
  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, peppers, garlic powder, salt and pepper; sauté 2 minutes. Add corn and black beans: sauté 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in avocado, cilantro, and lime juice. 
  3. Place 1 egg roll wrapper at a time onto work surface with 1 corner pointing toward you (wrapper should look like a diamond). Add 3 tablespoons of the mixture directly into the center of wrapper. Fold lower corner of egg roll wrapper over filling. Fold over left side, then right side. Moisten top corner of wrapper with water; roll up remainder of wrapper.  (There are directions with pictures on the eggroll wrappers!!)
  4. Repeat procedure with remaining wrappers
  5. Lightly brush eggrolls with olive oil, and place, seam side down, on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper. (make sure both sides are brushed with a light coating of olive oil). Bake at 425° for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Serve with salsa verde and low fat sour cream! Enjoy!!!
