→ Avocado Ranch Sauce
17 -
2 tablespoons of cilantro, minced
18 -
1 medium avocado, mashed until smooth
19 -
1/2 cup of ranch dressing
20 -
2 tablespoons of buttermilk
21 -
1 and 1/2 teaspoons of lime juice
22 -
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
23 -
1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
24 -
1/4 teaspoon of salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat some oil in a large pan and toss in the bell pepper. Cook until it softens. Add in the spinach, corn, jalapeño, black beans, green onions, and your spices (cayenne, cumin, chili powder, and salt). Stir and cook everything for about 3-4 minutes until tender and fragrant.
02 -
Take the sautéed veggies off the heat and dump them into a mixing bowl. Add in the shredded chicken, chopped cilantro, and cheese. Mix it all up until the filling looks evenly combined.
03 -
Put an egg roll wrapper down so it's diamond-shaped with a point facing you. Scoop around 1/4 cup of filling into the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, tuck in the sides, then roll it up snugly. Wet the top corner with water to stick it closed. Do this for the rest of the wrappers.
04 -
Heat your frying oil to 375°F (190°C). Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil and fry them for 3-4 minutes, or until their outside turns golden brown. Set them on paper towels to soak up any extra grease.
05 -
Throw the avocado, ranch dressing, buttermilk, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a blender. Blend until it's silky smooth. Use it as a dip alongside your crispy egg rolls.
