I really enjoyed this recipe. I had to make a few substitutions, as I did not have all of the necessary ingredients. My egg roll consisted of lettuce (with chipotle dressing) instead of spinach. I didn't have tortillas, so I actually rolled the filling up in large wonton wraps. They probably came out crispier than the tortillas would have. Otherwise, I stuck to the recipe and was quite pleased with the results.

These rolls would probably be better applied as appetizers for a small dinner party opposed to being the main dish. However, for my personal party of one, I gobbled them all up. They're easy to make according to the directions. You can also experiment and test out what you like.

Loved these dipped in the sauce. You wouldn't even notice it's been lightened up! Great appetizer for any occasion!

These were really yummy! Though they are meant to be appetizers, I doubled the recipe and made them for dinner along with a salad. I think my tortillas were too thick (I got them from a local restaurant) because they were hard to roll up, but hey looked good when I was done. Also, I painted them with olive oil and cooked them for 30 minutes hoping to make them crispy. That worked fine, and we really liked them. I will be making these alot throughout the spring and summer. Thanks Sue:)
