Options
anyone tried this? I was watching Just eat this today and he made some baked egg rolls with chicken and lettuce and they looked soooo good. Hopefully going to the store tonight and I will make my own version of these. If they come out good I will post the recipe.

    Here is the Hungry Girl recipe:

    Ingredients:
    6 large square egg roll wrappers (found in the refrigerated section of the supermarket with the other Asian items)
    4 cups (about half of a 12-oz. bag) dry coleslaw mix
    One 6-oz. can (4 oz. drained) tiny shrimp, drained
    1/2 cup canned water chestnuts, drained and sliced into strips
    1/4 cup bean sprouts, chopped
    2 scallions, chopped
    1 stalk celery, thinly sliced widthwise
    2 tbsp. light or low-sodium soy sauce
    1 tsp. crushed garlic
    1/4 tsp. ground ginger
    1/8 tsp. salt
    dash pepper
    Optional: sweet & sour sauce, for dipping

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

    Place slaw mix in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tbsp. of water, cover, and microwave for 2 minutes. Drain any excess water, and transfer slaw mix to a large bowl. Add all other ingredients except for the wrappers, mix well, and set aside. (For more intense flavor, allow mixture to marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes.) Prepare a large baking sheet by spraying it lightly with nonstick spray.

    Place two egg roll wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Evenly distribute about 1/2 cup of the mixture onto each wrapper, in a row a little below the center. Moisten all four edges of each wrapper by dabbing your fingers in water and going over the edges smoothly.

    Fold the sides of each wrapper about 3/4-inch towards the middle, to keep the mixture from falling out of the sides. Then, roll the bottom of each wrapper up around the mixture, and continue rolling until you reach the top. Seal the outside edge with another dab of water. Carefully transfer egg rolls to the baking sheet.

    Repeat process twice with remaining wrappers and filling, making sure you have a clean, dry surface each time.

    Spray the tops of the egg rolls with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly. If you like, dip egg rolls in some sweet & sour sauce!

    HG Alternative! If you're not into shrimp so much, just swap 'em for 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms and you'll have fantastic veggie egg rolls. Woohoo!

    This one has the chicken in it:
    Rockin' Rolls!

    Ingredients:

    Eggrolls
    3 La Tortilla Factory Whole Wheat Low-Carb/Low-Fat Tortillas, Original (not Large)**
    1 oz. cooked skinless chicken breast; shredded
    2 tbsp. canned black beans
    2 tbsp. canned corn; drained
    1 oz. Lifetime Fat Free Jalapeno Jack cheese; shredded
    1 tbsp. diced red chili pepper
    3/4 cup frozen chopped spinach; thawed & thoroughly drained

    Sauce
    1 tbsp. avocado
    2 tbsp. fat-free sour cream
    1/2 tsp. Hidden Valley Dips Mix, The Original Ranch
    1 tbsp. diced tomato
    dash pepper (or more, to taste)

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 400. Combine chicken, beans, corn, cheese, chili pepper and spinach in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds in the microwave. Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds. On a clean, flat surface, lay out tortillas side by side. Put 1/3 of the chicken-spinach mixture in the center of each of tortilla. To assemble each of the rolls, fold the left and right sides in (so none of the filling escapes during the cooking process), and then roll up from the bottom of the tortilla until you reach the top (so they resemble eggrolls). Place all 3 rolls (seams down) on a baking pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 12 minutes, flipping rolls over about halfway through cooking.

    While the eggrolls are in the oven, combine the sour cream, avocado, and Hidden Valley Dips Mix in a small bowl -- stir until smooth and blended. Season to taste with pepper. Top your dipping sauce with the tomatoes just before you serve! Once the eggrolls are done baking, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Then cut each in half diagonally, arrange them beautifully on a plate, and serve with the dipping sauce. Mmmmmmm!

    Trying this tonight; I'd not thought to use cole-slaw mix instead of shredding the cabbage!
