PROS

CONS

Since they are deep-fried, they are high in calories and fat.
So, these rolls should be enjoyed in moderation, as part of a balanced diet.
Moreover, for people watching their sodium intake, canned beans can be high in sodium, and so can be store-bought seasonings.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

The Southwestern egg rolls have several health benefits. Firstly, black beans are a great source of protein, fiber, and several vitamins and minerals like folate, iron, and copper. Secondly, spinach is rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin K, and several other essential nutrients. Lastly, the spices in the recipe, especially cumin, can have various health benefits, such as aiding digestion. However, if you want to make the recipe more nutritious, you can substitute the flour tortillas for whole-grain ones, shallow fry them, and use less cheese.
