southwestern chicken avocado eggrolls

Okay, I created this recipe because I had ripe avocados, leftover chicken, and left over egg roll wrappers. I had seen recipes for avocado egg rolls, but they seemed boring. So, I jazzed them up! They were really good! I used hot salsa, cause its what I have on hand...but go milder if you don't like spicy. When I ran out of chicken mixture, I used the last of my avocado and cheese slices, with a little salt and pepper and did them into egg rolls and they were pretty good too!
