Crispy Nacho Egg Rolls (Print-Friendly Version)

Crispy egg rolls packed with savory nacho-inspired filling—great for parties or easy snacking.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1 packet taco seasoning mix
03 - 1/2 cup water
04 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
06 - 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained
07 - 1/2 cup canned corn, drained (optional)

→ Assembly and Cooking

08 - 12 egg roll wrappers
09 - Vegetable oil, for frying

# How to Make It:

01 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain the excess fat.
02 - Stir in taco seasoning and water, simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef, shredded cheddar cheese, nacho cheese sauce, black beans, and corn if using. Mix thoroughly.
04 - Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface with a corner pointing toward you.
05 - Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in both sides and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a small amount of water.
06 - Continue assembling the remaining egg rolls using the filling and wrappers.
07 - Pour about 1 inch of vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat to 350°F over medium-high heat.
08 - Working in batches, fry 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
09 - Serve hot with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side for dipping.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure oil reaches 350°F for best crispiness and even frying. If preparing ahead, reheat egg rolls in an oven for optimal texture.
