To make these Southwest-style egg rolls with avocado dipping sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

For the egg rolls:

- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup canned corn, drained
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying

For the avocado dipping sauce:

- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To make the egg rolls, start by mixing together the chicken, black beans, corn, cheddar cheese, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Repeat with the remaining 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.
To make the avocado dipping sauce, combine the avocado, sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Serve the egg rolls hot with the avocado dipping sauce on the side.
These Southwest-style egg rolls with avocado dipping sauce are the perfect appetizer for any occasion.
