These Southwestern Pulled Pork Egg Rolls served with a delicious avocado cream sauce are a great party appetizer.

Football season is in full swing and while I don’t particularly care about watching football, I do enjoy the snacking that goes on during a game.

Dips and chips and wings and all that are always tasty, but I also like to offer snacks that are a little healthier. That helps me to feel less guilty about indulging.

These southwestern egg rolls fit the bill perfectly. They’re full of healthy ingredients like tender, juicy pork, black beans, corn and spinach with just enough pepper jack cheese to make them a little gooey and give them just the right amount of kick.

Then instead of frying them, they’re baked, which means you can indulge guilt-free.

Of course an egg roll needs a good dipping sauce and this avocado cream sauce is super creamy and delicious and takes almost no time to make.

They’re also delicious dipped in your favorite salsa. If you don’t have any pork on hand, you can also make these with cooked chicken and they will be equally delish.

Finally, you can make these ahead and either refrigerate or freeze them. Reheat them in a 350 degree ovenuntil they’re heated through.
