Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 white onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced green chiles (canned or fresh)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 12–14 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
- Mix in green chiles, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–3 more minutes, then let cool slightly.
- Place a spoonful of filling in the center of an egg roll wrapper. Roll tightly, sealing edges with water. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Heat frying oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
Notes
- Add shredded cheese to the filling for extra richness.
- Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- Bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes as a healthier option.
