Method
 

Prepare the filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you.
  3. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
  4. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Fry the egg rolls
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Carefully add egg rolls to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  4. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
