Bekkis Mexican Egg Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Crumble ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until evenly browned, and drain off grease. Add taco seasoning, and cook according to package directions. Set aside.
• Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet, or preheat a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Lay out one egg roll wrapper at a time, and place a little more than a tablespoon of the ground beef in the center. Top with a small spoonful of green chilies, and a little bit of shredded cheese. Roll up according to package instructions, and seal edges, wetting with water if necessary. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Fry the rolls in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oil to drain on paper towels. Serve hot and fresh.

Steps:

• Place the vegetable oil and ground beef into a large skillet; cook over medium-high heat until the meat is evenly browned and no longer pink. Reduce the heat to medium. Mix in the onion, garlic, and bell pepper; cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning and taco sauce. Continue to cook and stir the mixture until the sauce begins to bubble, about 5 minutes more.
• Working on a clean, flat surface, place 1 egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you. Place 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture in the center of the wrapper and top with a slice of cheese. Fold the corner closest to you over the meat mixture and roll the wrapper over the mixture 1-1/2 times. Fold in the two opposite side corners and continue rolling the wrapper so it covers these corners, tucking them in. Dip two fingers in the egg whites and brush the remaining corner, pressing it to seal. Repeat these steps with a second egg roll wrapper. Let the egg roll rest briefly so the egg white dries and holds the last corner in place.
• If the egg rolls will not be served right away, preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a heat-proof dish with paper towels.
• Pour the canola oil into a large wok set over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, carefully slip two to three egg rolls into the wok. Cook until the wrappers turn golden brown and bubble slightly, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Use a slotted spoon or strainer to remove from the wok. Place the egg rolls in the prepared dish and put the dish in the heated oven, making sure to remove it after 15 minute or lower the temperature. Continue cooking the remaining egg rolls.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375*. In a non-stick pan, cook the pork over "medium-high" heat, breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink. This should take about 5 minutes. Drain off the fat.
• Add the onions, garlic, carrot and water chestnuts, cooking over "medium" heat until the onions are soft, about 3 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, cornstarch, water, sesame oil & pepper together. Pour over cooked mixture, stirring to mix. Let cool slightly.
• Place egg roll wrapper on work surface and brush with water.
• Spoon a scant 3 tablespoons of filling on bottom third of wrapper - leaving a 1/2" border on the bottom and sides.
• Pull bottom edge over the filling and roll up, pinching ends to seal.
• Place seam side down on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with oil. Bake @ 375* for 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Serve with plum sauce.
