Nacho Egg Rolls

Unfried rolls freeze beautifully: place on sheet, freeze solid, transfer to bag. Fry from frozen—add 1–2 minutes.

Filling only keeps refrigerated 3 days.

Do not refrigerate fried rolls—reheat in 375°F oven 8–10 minutes (not microwave!).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I air-fry?

Yes—spray rolls with oil, air-fry at 390°F (200°C) 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway. Less crisp, but still delicious.

Vegetarian option?

Swap beef for 1.5 cups cooked lentils + ½ tsp smoked paprika. Add 1 Tbsp tomato paste for depth.

Why are my rolls leaking?

Overfilling or under-sealing. Use 3 Tbsp max, and press seams firmly. Chill filling 15 min before rolling.

Allergy Information

Final Thought

These egg rolls are more than a mashup—they’re a celebration of resourcefulness: turning pantry staples into something that crackles, oozes, and sparks joy. They prove that the best food isn’t about rarity. It’s about resonance—of flavor, memory, and the simple pleasure of sharing something warm, crisp, and deeply satisfying. So fry a batch. Watch them vanish. And save one—just for you—while it’s still hot from the oil.
