Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup jalapeños, diced (fresh or pickled)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 10–12 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef, softened cream cheese, diced jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner facing you. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to seal. Use a little water on the edges to help seal if needed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the egg rolls in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Enjoy your Beef Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls hot, with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
- For extra heat, use more jalapeños or add diced serrano peppers.
- These egg rolls can be made ahead of time and frozen before frying. Just fry them directly from the freezer, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.
- Serve with ranch dressing or spicy mayo for dipping.
