- 1/2 cup cooked black beans
- 1/2 cup cooked corn
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

To begin, mix together the cooked Creole rice, black beans, corn, red and green bell peppers, onion, celery, tomatoes, parsley, cilantro, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Stir until well combined.
Next, lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the Creole rice mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Brush the top corner with the beaten egg to seal the egg roll closed.
Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the egg rolls in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
