Instructions
Brown ground beef and onions until no pink remains.
Stir in green peppers, taco seasoning, salsa, and water (as required on the seasoning package). Cook until the water evaporates.
Lay out each egg roll wrapper (in a diamond facing you). Place 1 ½ tablespoons each of cheese and taco filling in the center of each wrapper.
Fold diagonally, fold sides in and roll up sealing the tip with a little bit of the water. Brush the outside of each egg roll with a little bit of vegetable oil or spray with cooking spray.
Place in the air fryer basket 3-4 at a time and cook at 390°F for 8 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Notes
To Deep Fry Egg Rolls in Oil:
Preheat oil to 350°F.
Carefully fry each egg roll for about 4-5 minutes or until browned and crispy.
Remove and place on a paper towel-lined paper to cool slightly before serving.
CAUTION: It is very important to make sure the wrappers are fully sealed when deep frying. Any ingredients that leak out have the chance to cause splattering which can cause severe burns.To Make in the Oven:
Assemble taco egg rolls, spray with cooking spray.
Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F until brown and crispy, flipping halfway through baking.
