Southwestern Eggrolls

E: OMG, you know those southwestern eggrolls at Chilis?? Probably one of my favorite foods of ALL TIME. I found this recipe on pinterest and knew I had to try it. I'm so glad I did, it was AMAZING!!



Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts – diced
1 medium-large onion, minced
1 cup frozen corn
1 (14.5)oz can black beans, rinsed & drained
2.5 cups fresh baby spinach
2 jalapenos, seeded & minced
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
salt & pepper to taste
10 taco sized flour tortillas (I think I used 8)
 
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium. Add in the chicken, season with salt & pepper to taste, & saute for 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the diced onions & cook until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the spices, jalapeno, black beans, corn, & baby spinach and cook until the spinach has wilted.
4. Remove from the heat, and stir in the pepper jack cheese.
5. Spoon about 1/4 cup of filling into the center of each taco sized flour tortilla, and roll up like a burrito. (I watched a YouTube video to learn how to "fold like a burrito" hahaha) 
6. Brush each side with a good coating of olive oil, and place in a baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
