Ingredients
Scale
Egg Roll Wrappers
- 10 pieces
Shredded Cheese
- 2 cups (mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack)
Ground Beef or Turkey
- 1 pound (cooked and seasoned)
Black Beans
- 1 cup (drained and rinsed)
Jalapeños
- 1/4 cup (chopped)
Spices
- 2 tablespoons (taco seasoning or a mix of cumin and paprika)
Vegetable Oil
- for frying (enough to deep fry)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, cook your ground meat until fully browned. Drain any excess fat, then mix in black beans, shredded cheese, jalapeños, and your chosen spices. Stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, placing a generous spoonful of your filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to seal. Use a little water on the edge to help it stick.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil that the egg rolls can float while frying.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Notes
- Don’t Overfill: Less is more when it comes to filling; too much can lead to messy egg rolls.
- Seal Well: Make sure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
- Temperature Check: Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying; if it’s too cool, the egg rolls will absorb too much oil.
- Use a Thermometer: For best frying results, maintain the oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F.
- Experiment with Dips: Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for an extra flavor boost.
