Number Of Ingredients 26

1 pkg egg roll wrappers
1 lb ground beef
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 small onion, chopped
pico de gallo (recipe following)
egg wash (I used 1 egg plus 1 Tbsp water)
sour cream or cilantro dip (recipe following)
CILANTRO DIP
2 fresh jalapenos, deseeded
1/3 c fresh cilantro
1/2 c mayonaise
1/2 c sour cream
1/2 c buttermilk
1/3 c green tomatilla salsa
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
couple shakes of black pepper
PICO DE GALLO
3/4 lb tomatoes, deseeded, chopped
1/3 c chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 c finely chopped onion
1 small jalapeno, finely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Brown hamburger and onion until brown. Add taco seasoning and follow directions on package.
  • 2. Lay out egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Add a spoonful of meat mixture, a little bit of pico de gallo, and then cheese. Use egg mixture with fingers around edge of egg roll wrap. Roll up like a closed burrito. There are detailed directions on how to roll these on the back of the package of egg rolls.
  • 3. Heat an inch or two of oil in a pan. Add a few rolls and brown. Turn over and brown the other side. Drain on paper towels.
  • 4. To make cilantro dip, add the jalapeno in blender or food processor. Pulse until chopped well. Add cilantro and pulse again until chopped. Then add remaining ingredients.
  • 5. To make the pico, mix everything together in a bowl. Don't make this the night before, it gets too wet.
