Southwestern Egg Rolls

I have no idea why these are called egg rolls.... This is inspired by this social media post by Freddsters 

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno, finely chopped (seeds removed if you want it more mild)
2 cloves garlic, grated

1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chili powder (guajillo variety, if you have it)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin

2 bell peppers, chopped
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 cup black beans (I used a whole can of beans, drained and rinsed)
1 cup corn (I used a whole can of corn, drained and rinsed)
1 small package of fresh baby spinach or half a package of frozen spinach
1 lime, juiced

Shredded cheese of choice

10 large flour tortillas

Avocado Ranch Dip
2 avocados, mashed
1 lime, juiced
1 cup ranch dressing
finely chopped cilantro to taste
1 small clove of garlic, grated
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Saute onion, jalapeno, and garlic for a few minutes.

Add spices and bell peppers, cook for a few minutes.

Add in beans, corn, and spinach, cook until spinach is wilted.

Mix avocado ranch dip.

Lay out all 10 tortillas, add cheese to each one, divide the filling evenly. Roll them up, lay them in a frying pan with a little olive oil until browned, turn to brown on each side. 

These make a great meal, about one to one-and-a-half per person is plenty. They are great as leftovers, and make a nice breakfast with a side of eggs.
