Equipment

Ingredients

1 red bell pepper, finely diced
15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 heaping cup frozen spinach, thawed and water pressed out with paper towels or 2 cups fresh spinach
3 green onions, chopped
1/16-1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cumin powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plant based cheese or regular
12 6" soft fajita tortillas or 10- 6" taco tortillas (gluten free if needed)

Instructions

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and sauté until the bell pepper is tender.
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
Add in the black beans, corn, spinach, green onion, cayenne pepper, cumin powder, chili powder, and salt. Heat the mixture until hot.
15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed, 1 cup frozen corn, thawed, 1 heaping cup frozen spinach, thawed and water pressed out with paper towels or 2 cups fresh spinach, 3 green onions, chopped, 1/16-1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder (optional), 1 teaspoon ground cumin powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Stir in the shredded cheese until melted.
1/2 cup plant based cheese or regular
Score the skillet of filling with a wooden spoon or spatula into 12 portions.
Add 1/12 of the filling to one end of the tortilla and fold in the sides around the filling and roll the tortilla up to cover the filling with the entire tortilla. These will not be perfect. If it is easier, roll them up like taquitos with each end open, but make sure the filling is not falling out.
12 6" soft fajita tortillas or 10- 6" taco tortillas (gluten free if needed)
Bake in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 400F or until egg rolls are slightly browned. There is not need to preheat the air fryer or spray the tortillas with oil. Do not overcrowd the egg rolls so they brown on all sides. This recipe may need to be done in 2-3 batches.
Enjoy the egg rolls with ranch dressing, guacamole, or any dip of choice.

Notes

Alternative Method - These can be baked in the oven, preheat to 425F and bake for 10-15 minutes or until slightly browned.

Substitute Tips - 10 - 8" soft taco tortillas can also be used. Calories will total about 570/serving if you have 3 1/3 servings. BUT let's have wellness without obsession, and not worry about it okay? :)
