Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a mix) Use your favorite type of cheese.
  • ½ cup cooked and seasoned beans (refried or black beans) Choose your preferred type of bean.
  • ¼ cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled) Adjust based on desired spice level.
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned) Drained if using canned tomatoes.
  • ½ cup finely chopped bell peppers Any color bell pepper works.
  • ½ teaspoon taco seasoning (optional) Enhances flavor; optional based on taste.
For Assembly
  • 8 pieces egg roll wrappers Available at most grocery stores.
  • Oil for frying Oil for frying Vegetable or canola oil recommended.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheese, beans, jalapeños, tomatoes, bell peppers, and taco seasoning, if using. Mix until everything is well combined.
Assembly
  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner facing you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
  2. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly. Moisten the top corner with water to seal it. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).
  2. Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil in batches; do not overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serving
  1. Serve your crispy nacho egg rolls warm with a side of your favorite dips like salsa or guacamole. Enjoy the flavorful crunch with friends and family!

Notes

Don’t overfill the egg rolls, and ensure the oil is hot enough before frying. For a healthier option, bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and reheat in an oven for best texture.
