For extra crispy eggrolls, consider lightly brushing the outside of each tortilla with oil before frying. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute with regular milk mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken. Adjust the amount of pickled jalapeño to suit your spice preference. These eggrolls can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a few hours before frying. Just make sure to keep them covered to prevent the tortillas from drying out.

Follow The Directions
01
Step1. Prepare Your Station: Lay out all your ingredients for easy access. (5 minutes)
02
Step2. Craft the Avocado Ranch: In a small bowl, mash half of the avocado until smooth. Reserve the other half for another use. Whisk in the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and ranch seasoning until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (10 minutes)
03
Step3. Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the rotisserie chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, corn, black beans, spinach, red bell pepper, scallions, pickled jalapeño, taco seasoning, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly distributed. (10 minutes)
04
Step4. Assemble the Eggrolls: Place approximately 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of a flour tortilla. Fold in the two sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll up the tortilla. Secure the seam with a toothpick to prevent it from opening during frying. Place the assembled eggroll on a plate and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. (20 minutes)
05
Step5. Fry to Golden Perfection: Pour vegetable oil into a 12-inch cast-iron skillet to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), which should take about 8 minutes. Carefully add 3 to 4 eggrolls to the hot oil, seam side down. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Transfer the fried eggrolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining eggrolls. (20 minutes)
06
Step6. Serve: Remove the toothpicks from the eggrolls. Slice each eggroll diagonally and serve immediately with the chilled avocado ranch dip. Enjoy! (5 minutes)
