# How to Prepare:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté red bell pepper until slightly tender. Add green onions, jalapeño, corn, black beans, spinach, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne. Cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are softened.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or wide pot to 190°C. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
