- 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles, drained
- 5 green onions, chopped
- 2 chopped jalapeño peppers, stemmed with veins and seeds removed
-
2 Tbsp. Southwest Spice Blend
-
1 tsp. Oregano - Mexican
- 1 (16 oz.) package egg roll wrappers
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup sour cream
-
1 Tbsp. Sweet Habanero Sugar

1 Tbsp. Coastal Blend Seasoning
- 1 cup diced ripe avocado
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

Directions
For Southwestern Eggrolls:
- PREHEAT oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- COMBINE cheese, corn, black beans, spinach (squeeze in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess liquid), chiles, green onion, jalapeno, Southwest Spice Blend, and Oregano - Mexican in a large bowl. Mix together until evenly combined.
- PLACE 1 egg roll wrapper on counter, with one corner facing you. Dip finger tips in water and moisten all 4 edges of wrapper. Fill ¼ cup of filling in center, pulling wrapper end facing you, up, over, and around filling. You should have about 1" of space on either end of wrapper.
- FOLD corners up and over towards center of wrapper, with firm but gentle pressure, creating a log shape. Roll log away from you to form a somewhat tight egg roll. Place on prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
- BRUSH egg rolls with egg and bake until golden brown and crisp, 18-20 mins. Rotate baking sheet once halfway through baking.
For Spicy Avocado Crema Dip:
- PUREE sour cream, Sweet Habanero Sugar, Coastal Blend Seasoning, avocado, lime juice, and lime zest in a blender or food processor until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate covered until ready to use.
