Cheesy Jalapeno and Corn Baked Egg Rolls with Avocado Yogurt Dip

 I’ve been cooking lots of appetizers lately and with summer right around the corner, I know the demand for them will only grow. These egg rolls taste like a jalapeno popper, but with a delicious, crunchy crust. The creamy avocado dip helps to cool down the spiciness and adds a nice citrus flavor. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled and comes together super fast, making it a great dish for your next party!

1. Preheat oven to 450. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. 
2.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, red
pepper, garlic, jalapeno and corn and cook for 3 minutes, stirring
often. Add cumin, cilantro and salt and cook for 1 minute longer. Remove
pan from heat and allow to cool slightly.

3. Place cream cheese in a large bowl. Add the cooked veggies as well as the cheese and stir to combine. 

4.
Place 1 egg roll wrapper at a time on a work surface with 1 corner
pointing toward you. Spoon 2 tablespoons filling into the center, wet
the edges with water and  roll up burrito-style. Repeat with the
remaining wrappers. Place egg rolls on the prepared baking
sheet and coat well with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes, flip and
cook for 5 minutes longer.

5.
While the egg rolls bake, combine the avocado dip ingredients in a food
processor or blender until smooth. Transfer to a serving dish. 

6. Transfer egg rolls to a serving platter and serve avocado dip on the side.
