Recipe: Southwestern Egg Rolls

This is a recipe that my sister in law, Ashley, made for us when we were staying with them. I was shocked when Chad and the kids ate it because it has spiniach and lots of veggies, but w/ all the seasonings, it has a great flavor! I tweaked it by using whole wheat tortillas instead of white and part-skim mozarella instead of Monterey Jack and they were still good! The baking tip, instead of frying, is Ashley's idea...and a good one!
