# Instructions:
01 -
Warm olive oil in a large skillet. Toss in diced red peppers and sauté until soft. Add black beans, corn, green onions, spinach, jalapeño, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, and salt. Stir for 3-4 minutes and cook until everything is tender.
02 -
Pour the cooked veggies into a bowl. Add shredded chicken, cilantro, and cheese. Stir everything so it's evenly combined.

Lay an egg roll wrapper with a corner pointed at you. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mix into the center. Fold the bottom corner up, fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly. Seal the tip with a little water. Do this for the rest of the wrappers.

Bring the oil to 375°F (190°C). Drop the rolls in and cook, a few at a time, for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Take them out and rest them on paper towels to drain.

Mix mashed avocado, ranch dressing, buttermilk, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and cilantro in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Serve it with the fried rolls while they're still hot.
