Ingredients (serves 4):

- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup of corn kernels
- 1/2 cup of diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup of diced onion
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly to remove any excess salt or preservatives.
- Use a non-stick pan to cook the filling to prevent sticking and burning.
- Don't overfill the egg roll wrappers, or they may burst during frying.

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool for a few minutes.
4. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
5. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper tightly to the top corner, sealing the edges with a bit of water.
6. Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
7. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the egg rolls and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
8. Remove the egg rolls from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
