Steps:
- Rub 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over chicken breast. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook chicken approximately 5 minutes per side, until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in green onion and red pepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes, until tender.
- Dice chicken and mix into the pan with onion and red pepper. Mix in corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeno peppers, parsley, cumin, chili powder, salt and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes, until well blended and tender. Remove from heat and stir in Monterey Jack cheese so that it melts.
- Wrap tortillas with a clean, lightly moist cloth. Microwave on high approximately 1 minute, or until hot and pliable.
- Spoon even amounts of the mixture into each tortilla. Fold ends of tortillas, then roll tightly around mixture. Secure with toothpicks. Arrange in a medium dish, cover with plastic, and place in the freezer. Freeze at least 4 hours.
- In a large, deep skillet, heat oil for deep frying to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep fry frozen, stuffed tortillas 10 minutes each, or until dark golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving.

BAJA EGGROLLS
This is the happy coincidence of odds and ends that I had in my kitchen plus a little mad creative science. It is not really Asian, or Mexican as the name implies , but comes from inspiration of living in Southern California for years. You can serve this as a snack, as an appetizer, or as a main course.

Steps:
- 1. Cook bacon slices until near crisp. Blot well. Save the oil from cooking the bacon to cook the mushrooms.
- 2. Cook the mushrooms in the bacon grease, adding garlic, chipotle powder and sea salt to taste. Drain off oils and thoroughly blot mushrooms on paper towels until dry. Set aside.
- 3. Have all your ingredients around in small bowls or containers before starting to roll the egg rolls. Have a paper towel ready to wipe down your work surface after each egg roll and a small cup of water ready to moisten the egg roll wrapper so it will stick. Do not over-moisten wrappers, however, as they may stick and tear. Positioning the egg roll wrapper in the shape of a diamond, lay out ingredients except cilantro inside wrapper middle bottom quadrant. moisten all exposed area of wrapper on inside of roll. Sprinkle red pepper to taste, and then add your cilantro. You add the cilantro last as it can be a little hard to work with if you add it earlier. Begin at bottom of roll, gently but firmly gather up the roll, bringing up wrapper around ingredients, partially "tucking" the wrapper not around or underneath, but beside the filling. Flatten the side points of the roll, folding them in on top of the roll, securing them by dampening them with water and pressing them gently to the roll. Then, gently, but firmly, roll the egg roll forward onto the rest of its moistened wrapper. Do not pull the wrapper so tight as to tear the roll. Egg roll wrapping is a practiced art. Do not dishearten if you have gaps in your roll at first.
- 4. VERY IMPORTANT!!!! Before proceeding to cook egg rolls, make sure you have everything for dinner in place and your platter with paper towels ready as the egg rolls cook very fast. SAFETY PRECAUTION!!!! Be very careful!! You will be working with extremely hot oil and precautions need to be made to prevent splatter and spillage burns.
- 5. Heat cooking oil to a temperature just below smoking. The hotter the oil is, the less greasy the rolls will be, but you don't want the rolls to burn, either.
- 6. Cook egg rolls quickly in the hot oil. This takes only a minute or two.
- 7. Adjust this recipe as you care to serve 2-4 rolls per person. Four serves as a meal in our hungry household.

Steps:
- 1. Add olive oil to a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat. Add celery, chopped onion, and chopped bell pepper. Cook until they just begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Turn heat to low and add diced andouille sausage. If you can't find andouille, use a flavorful kielbasa pork sausage in its place. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sausage renders some of its fat.
- 2. Add cooked chicken breast. When the chicken is warmed through, add the following ingredients: green onions, cream cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Stir until the cream cheese an seasonings are evenly melted and incorporated into the mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 3. Set egg roll wrapper on a large plate, in the shape of a diamond -- with the pointed ends up. Place 1/3 cup of the filling in the lower half of the wrapper. Fold the sides in over the filling, then roll the wrapper over the filling, away from you...tucking as you go. Brush the inside of the wrap with water as your roll tightly...this will give you a nice tight seal. Seal the edges with more water and lay seam side down. Repeat the process with 4-5 more wrappers.
- 4. Heat oil in a skillet with high sides over med-high heat for about 5 minutes. When the oil is hot, cook the egg rolls. Avoid crowding, which causes soggy egg rolls. Cook until golden-brown, then flip over and cook until the other side is browned. Drain well on paper towels and set aside while you make the dipping sauce.
- 5. Make the dipping sauce by combining the following ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine all the ingredients. To serve, place the egg rolls on a serving platter...along with a bowl of the creamy dipping sauce.
