Now that you have your ingredients prepared, it’s time to make these delicious Southwest Egg Rolls. Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) if you plan to bake the egg rolls. If frying, heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
2. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, corn, black beans, cheese, red bell pepper, green onions, chili powder, cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave for about 15 seconds. This makes them more pliable and easier to roll.
4. Fill the Tortillas: Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of each tortilla.
5. Roll the Egg Rolls: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Ensure the filling is sealed inside.
6. Seal the Edges: Use a small amount of water along the edges to help seal the tortillas closed.
7. Arrange On a Baking Sheet: Place the rolled egg rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Spray with Cooking Oil: Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray or brush them with oil for a golden finish.
9. Bake or Fry: If baking, place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. If frying, carefully place them in the hot oil and fry until golden, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
10. Drain Excess Oil: If you choose to fry the egg rolls, remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

These steps ensure that your Southwest Egg Rolls turn out deliciously crispy and full of flavor!
