Instructions
Place veggie chicken pieces in a large frying pan and heat according to package directions. Set aside.
Add oil, onions and bell peppers to the pan. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the jalapeno and cook for 1 minute more.
Add the beans, corn, spinach and taco seasoning. Cook until vegetables are heated through.
Remove from heat. Add the heated veggie chicken, mashed avocado and cilantro and stir together.
Lay the egg roll wrappers out on the table in a diamond shape with one corner pointing towards you.
Place about 1⁄3 cup of egg roll filling in the center of each wrapper then roll it up tightly while folding the sides in. Use a bit of water to seal the outside edge of the wrapper.
Continue until all wrappers are rolled up and set aside.
Add about 2 inches of oil to a deep skillet. Heat to 375 degrees.
Add the eggrolls to the oil in batches, taking care not to crowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, flipping to get an even golden brown color..
Remove from oil and cool on a wire rack.
Serve immediately.
To make dipping sauce:
Combine all of the ingredients together in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.
Notes
To store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. To reheat, simply place the egg rolls in a 350ºF oven until heated through, or warm them up in the air fryer. A microwave will work too, but the exterior won’t be as crispy.To freeze: Place the egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and put them in the freezer until they are solid. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or zip-top bag and freeze for up to 3 months. You can reheat them according to the instructions above, directly from frozen.
