    1. PREHEAT oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
    2. COMBINE cheese, corn, black beans, spinach (squeeze in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess liquid), chiles, green onion, jalapeno, Southwest Spice Blend, and Oregano - Mexican in a large bowl. Mix together until evenly combined.
    3. PLACE 1 egg roll wrapper on counter, with one corner facing you. Dip finger tips in water and moisten all 4 edges of wrapper. Fill ¼ cup of filling in center, pulling wrapper end facing you, up, over, and around filling. You should have about 1" of space on either end of wrapper.
    4. FOLD corners up and over towards center of wrapper, with firm but gentle pressure, creating a log shape. Roll log away from you to form a somewhat tight egg roll. Place on prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
    5. BRUSH egg rolls with egg and bake until golden brown and crisp, 18-20 mins. Rotate baking sheet once halfway through baking.
