 Homemade Taco Egg Rolls 🌮🥚🍴

These Taco Egg Rolls are the perfect fusion of Mexican and Asian flavors, featuring a crispy egg roll shell filled with seasoned taco meat, cheese, and veggies. They make a great appetizer or fun dinner option for the whole family!

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)

1 packet taco seasoning mix

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 medium tomato, diced

1 small onion, diced

1/4 cup sour cream (optional)

12-15 egg roll wrappers

Vegetable oil for frying

For Dipping Sauce (Optional):

Salsa

Guacamole

Sour cream

Instructions:

1. Cook the Taco Meat:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula (about 7-8 minutes). Drain excess fat.

Add the taco seasoning mix and 1/4 cup of water to the beef. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is well mixed and the meat is fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the taco meat mixture into the center of the wrapper. Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and onions. You can also add a small dollop of sour cream if you like.

Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly, brushing the edges with a little water to seal the egg roll.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls:

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the egg rolls in batches, 3-4 at a time, for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

4. Serve:

Serve the crispy taco egg rolls hot with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream for dipping.

You can bake the egg rolls instead of frying them for a lighter option. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite taco toppings like black beans, corn, or jalapeños.
