Soutwestern Egg Rolls

I found this recipe on the internet. I am sorry I don't remember the link.

These are a lot like the egg rolls you can get at a popular restaurant. They do take some time to assemble, but the end result is quite yummy. The sauce is simple, yet very tasty. Great to take to parties, or just to have for fun.

Southwestern Egg Rolls
(makes 10 egg rolls)

For the Egg Rolls
2 cups chicken, cooked and cubed
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh garlic, chopped fine
2 green onions, minced
1 (12 oz.) can cooked kernel corn, drained
1 (12 oz.) can cooked black beans, drained
1 (10 oz.) bag frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 Tablespoons jalapeño peppers, drained, chopped fine
1 taco seasoning envelope
8 ounces (2 cups) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
10 (7-inch) flour tortillas

For the Sauce
1 ripe avocado, mashed
1 (8 oz.) bottle ranch dressing

Preparation:
For the Egg Rolls procedure:
Heat the vegetable oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the red pepper, onion and garlic and sauté until tender. Add the cooked chicken, corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeños and taco seasoning to the pan. Cook for another 4 minutes, stirring so that the spinach becomes mixed evenly into the rest of the ingredients. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the cheese until it is melted.

Wrap the tortillas in a moist cloth and microwave them on high for 1 minute or until they become hot and soft. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mixture into the center of the tortilla. Dampen the edges of the tortilla slightly so that it will seal well, then fold in the ends and roll the tortilla up tightly. Secure the ends with a toothpick. Repeat the procedure with the remaining ingredients.

Heat 6 cups of vegetable oil in a deep soup pot to 375. This takes about 5 minutes over high heat if you do not have a thermometer. Lower the egg rolls a few at a time and deep-fry them until they are golden brown on the outside. Remove them with a slotted spoon from the oil and drain them on absorbent paper.

To serve, slice each egg roll diagonally in half and serve on a plate around a pool of the avocado sauce.

For the Sauce procedure:
Prepare the avocado ranch sauce by mixing the two ingredients together in a small bowl.
