  1. 1

    Combine the corn, beans, spinach, jalapeno Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, green chiles, green onions, salt, cumin, and chili powder in a large bowl to make the filling.

  2. 2

    Place an egg roll wrapper on a diagonal. Lightly wet all 4 edges with water using your finger. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling into the center. Fold one corner over the filling, then tuck in the sides to create a roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and lightly spray each egg roll with cooking spray.

  3. 3

    Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C). Arrange the egg rolls in the basket so they do not touch; cook in batches if needed. Fry for 8 minutes, then flip and continue cooking until the skins are crispy, about 4 minutes more.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
