Chicken-Green Chili Straws

I watched this on the Food Network and it looked delicious and also easy to make. Try it and tell me what you think. I plan on making it once I get some egg roll wraps from the store. They said you can get them in the produce department.

Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

1 1/2 cups cooked chicken thigh meat, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (colby jack blend)
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 package egg roll wrappers

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, sour cream, cheese, green chiles, cilantro, and cumin. Mix well to combine.
Arrange egg roll wrappers on a flat surface. Place a small amount of filling in the lower third (towards 1 corner) of each wrapper. Fold over the bottom corner of the wrapper, tightly roll up 1 turn and then fold in the sides. Dip your finger in water and run it along the corner and edge. Tightly roll up the rest of the way, sealing the edges and seam shut. Place "straws" on prepared baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
