These were so good! I was nervous about all the spinach, but It was great. My husband and I especially loved the sauce. I did leave out the black beans because I didn't think my husband would like them (I think I'll try to sneak them in there next time though!) I also used jalapenos instead of the red chilis. This was a super recipe! Thanks so much for posting. Made for Recipe Tag!

    I've never had Chili's Southwest Eggrolls, but I have had Ruby Tuesday's version. This tastes nothing like the Ruby Tuesday's version, but it is delicious! My eggrolls didn't brown up like Nimz photo...they looked like little burritos without any sauce! But with the avocodo sauce they were great. I think they'd be a little plain without a dip, but with the dip, I enjoyed them tremendously. I doubled the recipe, and we ate these for dinner! Made for 123 Hits Tag!

    CB you have a real winner here. Loved the combination of spinach, chicken and cheese and the black beans and corn just added to it. I didn't used the frozen spinach. I took a couple of handfulls of fresh spinach and sauted that in a little olive oil with some chopped garlic. That added a lot of goodness to this dish I think. DH requested cheese on top while baking and that turned out well too. Love the dip. Just Excellent. Thanks CB Made for Adopte a Tag '08

    Delicious! I had to cook the chicken anyway, so when it was cooked through, I just threw the veggies into the pan to warm while I was shredding the chicken. I also added some diced onion, since we love onion. I used multigrain tortillas. Thanks for sharing!

    A quick and easy weeknight meal. Made for my sister and I for dinner (we are both weight watching) and we found them filling and satisfying. Used beet greens instead of spinach and added red peppers. Also used 4 tortillas. Dipping sauce is delicious!

    What a wonderful recipe! Since I was pretty hungry & didn't want to wait to bake (hee hee!), I made this into more of a "burrito" which still worked great. I used fresh spinach, broccoli & carrots for the chicken & corn & added a bunch of spices (cumin, chili powder, minced garlic, cayenne). I also had some leftover refried beans so I used those instead of black beans. Low fat mozzerella was my cheese of choice & dipped the burrito into some salsa & fat free sour cream (I apologize for not making the dip but I had no avocados so I had to improvise!!). It was spicy, quick & flavorful-all my favorite things. Thanks so much for sharing

    This a nice, lower fat recipe. Don't forget to add the black beans when you get to step 2!! Loved the dip!

    I doubled the recipe and used whole wheat flour tortillas in place of the flour. I also omitted the avocados in the dip, as I didn't have any on hand with good results. The Egg Rolls were awesome and enjoyed by my friends and I for a snack while watching movies last night. I will definately make these again when I need an appetizer to bring somewhere, and make mini ones, so it makes more.

    This made for a yummy lunch! I used Fat Free Whole Wheat Tortillas and extra spinach. I made 1 just for me and Im definitely going to have to let the kids try it minus spinach as I think they would like it too. Thanks, CoffeeB

    I haven't had Chili's egg-rolls, and now I don't even want to. If someone were to take me there, (to Chili's) I would have them sew my mouth shut, as I have tasted the best of the best. Gosh, we LOVED this! I also used fresh spinach from the garden, (put in the microwave for 45 seconds to cook a bit) and I used 2% Colby-Jack cheese but other then that, no changes were made. These are awesome! My red chili pepper was quite spicy and hot, so I used just a couple of minced pieces, (Habanero) and I loved the kick of this. I wouldn't think most people like the chili that hot, so I would think the gentle jalapeno would suffice. Here's to you, and your lovely enormous tasting bits of goodness and all lightened up too!
