Method
 

How to Make Taco Egg Rolls
  1. Brown the meat by cooking the ground beef and diced onions in a frying pan over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes, until the meat is no longer pink.
  2. Add diced green bell peppers, taco seasoning, salsa, and a splash of water, cooking until the liquid is mostly evaporated, around 3-4 minutes.
  3. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you, in a diamond shape.
  4. Spoon 1½ tablespoons of shredded cheese and 1½ tablespoons of beef mixture into the center of the wrapper.
  5. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom corner. Use water to seal the tip.
  6. Preheat oil in a fryer or large pan to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Fry egg rolls in batches for around 4-5 minutes until golden brown, turning halfway for even cooking.
  8. Remove and let drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauces.
