Season 1 pound of chicken breast fillets with garlic salt and paprika on both sides.

Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes before flipping it over.

Continue cooking for another 10 to 12 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.

Turn off the heat and set the chicken aside to cool.

Cut the cooked chicken into smaller pieces.

In the same pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Add 1/2 small white onion, 1 red bell pepper, 1 jalapeno, and 3 minced garlic cloves to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the mixture and stir to combine.

Add 1 can of corn and a 15 ounce can of black beans, mixing well.

After about a minute, add the chopped chicken and some cilantro, mixing everything together and cooking for about 2 minutes before removing from heat.

Using egg roll wraps, place some filling and cheese (a combination of colby jack and Monterey Jack) in each wrap.

Wrap the egg rolls, sealing the edges with a little oil.

Heat oil in a pan over low medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, fry the egg rolls on all sides until golden, which should take about a minute for each.

Remove the egg rolls from the pan once they are golden brown.
