- 1 chicken breast cooked, then either diced or shredded
- 3/4 – 1 cup frozen corn thawed
- 1/2 can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1/2 red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 green onions thinly sliced and then diced
- 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach diced
- 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
- package of wonton wrappers
- 3/4 cup ranch dressing
- the juice of 1 lemon or lime your choice
- pinch of cayenne
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 avocado mashed
- salt and pepper to taste
- oil for frying
In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, corn, beans, peppers, green onion, spinach, and cheese until roughly combined.
In a separate bowl combine the ranch dressing, the lemon or lime juice, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, salt and pepper stirring until an evenly incorporated dressing forms.
Mix the mashed avocado in with the dressing, whisking until evenly incorporated, and then pour the finished dressing over the veggie mixture.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over med/hi heat.
Cut a stack (your desired amount) of wonton squares in half diagonally, forming triangular shaped ‘chips’. Fry the chips a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve the veggie/dressing mix as a dip in a bowl, with the egg roll chips on the side, or scoop out a bit of the dip onto each chip for easy grab and go bite sized snacks.
