Ingredients
Scale
For the filling:
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup canned diced green chilies (optional)
For assembly:
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for dipping
Instructions
- Cook the filling: In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion until browned. Add spices, then mix in cheese sauce, cheddar, and chilies.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Place filling on wrappers, fold, and roll tightly, sealing edges with water.
- Fry the egg rolls: Heat oil to 350°F, fry egg rolls until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Drain on paper towels and serve hot with dips.
Notes
- To bake instead of fry, brush egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
- These freeze well before frying—just thaw slightly before cooking.
- Add jalapeños or black beans for a spicy or vegetarian twist.
