Description
These Crispy Nacho Egg Rolls are a crunchy, golden-brown twist on classic nachos, filled with melty cheese, seasoned beef, jalapeños, and black beans. A fun, handheld treat perfect for parties or game nights.
Ingredients
- Egg roll wrappers
- Ground beef (or turkey)
- Taco seasoning
- Cheddar cheese, shredded
- Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- Black beans, rinsed and drained
- Jalapeños, diced (pickled or fresh)
- Green onions, chopped
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Sour cream or guacamole for dipping
Instructions
- Cook the filling: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, then stir in taco seasoning according to the packet’s instructions.
- Combine the mix-ins: Remove the beef from heat and mix in shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, black beans, diced jalapeños, and green onions.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape, spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of filling into the center, fold in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing edges with a dab of water.
- Fry until golden: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C) and carefully fry the egg rolls in batches, turning until evenly crisp and golden—about 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Slice the egg rolls in half on the diagonal and serve warm with sour cream and guacamole.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, swap out the meat for sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms.
- For a spicy kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce or diced pickled jalapeños to the filling.
- To make these egg rolls gluten-free, use gluten-free egg roll wrappers and certified gluten-free taco seasoning.
- For a baked option, brush the egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp.
- To store, keep cooled egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 8–10 minutes to maintain crispness.
