Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using an air fryer, preheat according to manufacturer's instructions. Get your ingredients ready.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir occasionally until chicken is cooked through.
- Toss in the red bell pepper, frozen corn, kale, and salsa to the skillet. Stir and cook until the peppers are tender. Add the chopped green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Lay out your egg roll wrappers. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each wrapper. Brush the edges with warm water and fold according to the package instructions.
- If baking, place egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush each with melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. If air frying, place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket, taking care not to overcrowd. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through.
- Serve your delicious Mexican Chicken Egg Rolls hot, with your favorite salsa on the side.

Notes
- To make the filling extra flavorful, try adding a sprinkle of your favorite Mexican cheese or a dollop of sour cream to the mixture before wrapping it up in the egg roll wrappers.
- Make sure to brush the egg rolls with melted butter before baking to give them a golden, crispy texture.
- If you prefer a spicier filling, feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper to your liking.
- For a vegetarian version of these egg rolls, simply omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth in the recipe.
- Leftover egg rolls can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for a crispy texture, or microwaved for a softer texture. Serve with additional salsa or sour cream on the side for added flavor.
