½ c canned black soybeans, drained and rinsed (optional)

½ c canned roasted sweet corn, drained (optional)

¼ c cilantro, finely chopped

½ red bell pepper, roasted (seeds, skin and veins removed), finely chopped

1 jalapeno pepper (seeds and veins removed), finely chopped

2 green onions, finely chopped

2 garlic gloves, finely chopped or minced

1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice

1 tsp smoked paprika (or regular)

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

Kosher salt, or to taste

10-12 spring roll pastry wrappers (or egg roll wrappers) – open package and keep covered with clean towel

Small dish of water, room temperature

Vegetable oil for frying

• Prepare TVP according to basic package directions using the broth.
• Roast red bell pepper in oven on broil until skin is fully blackened on all sides (turning as needed); cool 5-10 minutes in covered bowl; remove skin, stem, seeds, and veins; finely chop. Alternatively, use prepared roasted red peppers in the jar (drain liquid).
• Combine paprika, cumin, chili powder and salt in a small bowl; mix well.
• Combine all other ingredients together in a medium-large bowl and mix well. Add seasonings to TVP mixture and mix well making sure all ingredients are well coated with seasonings.

• Line a cookie sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
• Line another cookie sheet with two layers of paper towels. Keep more paper towels handy.
• Using the above diagram as a guide, spread about 2-3 tablespoons filling on each pastry or eggroll wrapper as shown with dotted line (1); fold bottom corner tightly up over filling (2); fold both sides over snugly (3) and continue rolling upward, leaving a small triangle space at the top (4). Using your fingers, wet the triangle space with a little water, finish rolling up, and gently press to seal top.
• Set roll aside on parchment/waxed paper-lined cookie sheet and repeat with remaining wrappers. Do not let rolls touch each other. Cover lightly with a clean towel until all wrappers are rolled.

• Heat vegetable oil (about ½ -1 inch) deep in a deep-sided pan to about 375 degrees. The oil is ready when the tip of a wooden spoon handle is inserted into the oil and bubbles form around it.
• Using metal tongs, place as many rolls as possible into hot oil without rolls touching each other or overcrowding the pan, and fry until golden brown. Using tongs, turn rolls as needed to ensure even browning all around.
