Recipe preparation for Nacho Egg Rolls

How to Make Nacho Egg Rolls

Prepare Your Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat and stir in onions until soft. The sweet aroma will fill your kitchen.

Mix It Up: Add in salsa, shredded cheese, cumin, and chili powder. Stir until melted and well combined—this is where the magic happens!

Assemble the Rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper diagonally on a clean surface. Spoon about two tablespoons of filling onto the center. Fold corners toward the center and roll tightly—like wrapping a present with cheesy goodness.

Fry Away: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place each egg roll into hot oil; fry until golden brown on all sides (about 3-4 minutes). They should sizzle like they mean business!

Drain & Serve: Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with guacamole or sour cream for dipping—these little pockets are begging for it!

Get ready for an explosion of flavors that will leave everyone wanting more!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

To achieve crispy perfection, fry the egg rolls in batches. This ensures even cooking and prevents sogginess while you prepare the remaining rolls.
