SOUTHWESTERN EGG ROLLS WITH AVOCADO CILANTRO SAUCE

Steps:

• THE FILLING: Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add the scallions and red bell peppers and continue to cook for an additional minute. Add all the remaining ingredients except the cheese and egg roll wrappers. Let cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and cool completely. When the mixture is cooled to room temperature, stir in the cheese. You can make the egg rolls immediately or refrigerate the mixture overnight if you want to make the egg rolls later. If you find the filling gets liquidy, see notes for a solution.
• THE EGG ROLL: Place the egg roll wraps in front of you with a point towards you. Spoon the mixture (about 1 ½ tablespoon) in the center of the egg roll wrapper. Fold in the end closest to you, then the two on the side, rolling tightly as you fold towards the end farthest from you. Brush the edge with water to help seal the egg roll. See pictures in post. Place rolls on baking sheet. Let refrigerate for several hours before frying.
• SAUCE: Place all the ingredients in a blender/food processor and blend until smooth. Adjust seasonings to taste.
• TO FRY: Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet. When the oil reaches 350ºF, fry egg rolls in batches. Do not overcrowd the skillet. Turn egg rolls every 1-2 minutes for even browning. When browned remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• OR BAKE OR AIR FRY: Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Spray egg rolls with cooking spray on all sides and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. To the air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 375ºF.
