Ingredients
Scale
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in black beans, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Add two tablespoons of filling near the closest corner, fold it over tightly, tuck in the sides, and roll to seal.
- Heat Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to about 350°F (175°C). Test readiness by dropping in a small piece of wrapper; it should sizzle.
- Fry Egg Rolls: Carefully add several egg rolls to the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Drain Oil: Transfer fried egg rolls onto paper towels to absorb excess oil before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy with salsa or guacamole on the side.
