Add chicken to skillet; cook, turning once halfway through, 8 to 10 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F. Remove chicken from skillet.

2. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to skillet and heat over medium heat. Stir in green onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, chop chicken (you should have about 1½ cups) and return to skillet. Stir in corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeño, cilantro. cumin. chili powder, cayenne and remaining ½ tsp. salt; cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted. Wipe out skillet.

4. Wrap tortillas with a damp paper towel. Microwave on High until hot and pliable, about 1 minute.

5. Spoon about 3 Tbsp. chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Tuck ends of tortillas over mixture, then roll sides tightly around mixture. Secure with toothpicks.

6. Pour oil to a depth of 1 inch in skillet or a deep-fat fryer; heat to 350°F. [You'll need about 1 qt. oil for a 10-inch skillet.] Working in batches, fry egg rolls, turning once halfwav through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
