Ingredients

For The Guacamole:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 lime
  • 2 pinches salt
  • ½ cup cilantro for garnish
  • lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Heat a skillet to medium and add 1 Tbsp. oil. Once the oil is heated add 1 lb. ground turkey to pan (can use ground beef or chicken). Saute for 5 minutes or so, breaking the turkey into pieces as it cooks.
  • Add 2 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. ground cumin, 1 tsp. smoked paprika, 1 tsp. chili powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to the turkey. Stir the spices into the meat as it cooks.
  • Drain and rise 1 15 oz. can of black beans. Add to the cooked turkey.
  • Add 1 cup of frozen corn (can use canned or fresh) to the pan. Cook until heated.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Grate 1 cup of Monterrey Jack cheese (or cheese of choice).
  • To assemble the egg rolls: Lay the egg roll wrappers (can use homemdade gluten free egg roll wrappers if gluten free) out individually on a clean surface. Scoop 3-4 spoonfuls of the turkey mixture onto each wrapper. Sprinkle desired amount of cheese onto the top of the turkey.
  • Pull the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the turkey mixture. Fold the sides in over the bottom (it should look like an envelope). Dip your finger into a bowl of water and run it along the top edges of the wrapper. Pull the top down over the folded sides and seal the edges together. Place the sealed egg rolls onto a baking sheet(s).
  • Spray the pan(s) with cooking spray. Spray or brush the tops of the egg rolls with olive oil.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from pan when finished.

For The Guacamole:

  • Scoop 2 ripe avocados into a small bowl. Add the juice of 1 lime and a few generous pinches of salt. Smash the avocados with a fork until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Garnish the egg rolls with freshly minced cilantro and lime wedges. Serve with guacamole and salsa.

Notes

This recipe created when gluten was still part of my diet and since then this site has gone gluten free. Gluten free egg roll wrappers are difficult to find, as there are not many pre-made brands on the market.
If you'd like to make this recipe gluten free, feel free to make gluten free wonton wrappers from scratch.
  • Alternately, you can use corn tortillas in place of wonton wrappers and make taquitos instead of egg rolls.
  • If using corn tortillas, wrap a stack of them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for a minute, so that they are more pliable.
  • Fill them as you would the wontons, roll them up, and place them on baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake them in an oven that has been heated to 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until crispy.
  • Serve them with the dipping sauces, just as you would the egg rolls.
