Mexican Egg Rolls

by

 Mexican Egg Rolls are a fun spin on the classic version. Make a lot because they won’t last long!
 Mexican Egg Rolls
I made Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls and they were a hit. So I knew I wanted to try these Mexican Egg Rolls the second I saw the recipe. I may have had 3. They are not spicy at all, but you could add a kick by using jalepenos if you want. Try garnishing them with avocados and sour cream for a fresh taste.

Mexican Egg Rolls
My Notes: I used a 13 oz. can of shredded chicken from Costco instead of 2 chicken breasts. I also filled them a little fuller and got 7 egg rolls instead of 12.
