    \n
  • 1 lb ground beef<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 1 packet taco seasoning<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup water<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese<\/strong><\/li>\n

    \n

    Step-by-Step Instructions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Step 1: Cook the Beef<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the\u00a0ground beef<\/strong>\u00a0until it\u2019s no longer pink, breaking it up as it browns. Drain any excess grease.
    \nAdd the\u00a0taco seasoning<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0\u00bd cup of water<\/strong>, then stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes fragrant.<\/p>\n

    \ud83d\udd25\u00a0Pro Tip: For a smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder to the beef.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \n

    Step 2: Mix the Filling<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Transfer the seasoned beef to a large mixing bowl. Add:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Shredded cheddar cheese<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Diced red bell pepper<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Chopped green onions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Mix everything together well. You\u2019re aiming for a well-balanced filling where each bite has meat, cheese, and veggies.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Add about\u00a02 tablespoons of filling<\/strong>\u00a0to the center. Top with a\u00a0small dollop of sour cream<\/strong>\u00a0(about \u00bd tsp).<\/p>\n

      Fold the\u00a0bottom corner over the filling<\/strong>, then fold in the\u00a0sides<\/strong>, and roll it tightly upwards. Seal the final edge with a bit of water to keep everything secure.<\/p>\n

      Repeat until all 12 egg rolls are assembled.<\/p>\n

      \ud83e\uddca\u00a0Want to freeze some for later? Place the uncooked egg rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze for 1 hour, then transfer to a zip-top bag. They\u2019ll keep for up to 2 months.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      \n

      Step 4: Fry Until Golden and Crispy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      In a deep skillet or fryer, heat\u00a0vegetable oil<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Fry 2\u20133 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, until\u00a0golden brown and crispy<\/strong>\u00a0(about 2\u20133 minutes per batch).<\/p>\n

      Transfer the cooked rolls to a\u00a0paper towel-lined plate<\/strong>\u00a0to remove excess oil.<\/p>\n

      \u26a0\ufe0f\u00a0Always monitor oil temperature to prevent soggy or burnt egg rolls. Use a kitchen thermometer for best results.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      \n

      Step 5: Garnish and Serve<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Sprinkle freshly\u00a0chopped cilantro<\/strong>\u00a0on top for a pop of color and flavor. Serve hot with\u00a0salsa<\/strong>,\u00a0guacamole<\/strong>, or extra\u00a0sour cream<\/strong>\u00a0for dipping.<\/p>\n
