I really enjoyed this recipe. I had to make a few substitutions, as I did not have all of the necessary ingredients. My egg roll consisted of lettuce (with chipotle dressing) instead of spinach. I didn't have tortillas, so I actually rolled the filling up in large wonton wraps. They probably came out crispier than the tortillas would have. Otherwise, I stuck to the recipe and was quite pleased with the results.<br/><br/>These rolls would probably be better applied as appetizers for a small dinner party opposed to being the main dish. However, for my personal party of one, I gobbled them all up. They're easy to make according to the directions. You can also experiment and test out what you like. -
Loved these dipped in the sauce. You wouldn't even notice it's been lightened up! Great appetizer for any occasion! -
These were really yummy! Though they are meant to be appetizers, I doubled the recipe and made them for dinner along with a salad. I think my tortillas were too thick (I got them from a local restaurant) because they were hard to roll up, but hey looked good when I was done. Also, I painted them with olive oil and cooked them for 30 minutes hoping to make them crispy. That worked fine, and we really liked them. I will be making these alot throughout the spring and summer. Thanks Sue:) -
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!

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.

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!
