Ingredients You’ll Need
You won’t need many ingredients to pull off this flavor-packed appetizer:
-
1 packet taco seasoning
-
4 large flour tortillas (or egg roll wrappers)
-
½ cup yellow onion, diced
-
1 lb ground beef

½ cup diced bell peppers (any color)

How to Make Crispy Nacho Egg Rolls
Step 1: Cook the Beef Mixture
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning along with a splash of water. Add diced onion and bell pepper and cook until softened.
Step 2: Assemble the Rolls
Lay out the flour tortillas and cut them into quarters (or use large egg roll wrappers). Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center, top with shredded cheese and cilantro, then fold and roll tightly. Seal edges with a little water or flour paste.
Step 3: Fry Until Crispy
Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower each roll into the oil and fry for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Serve
Serve hot with sour cream, ranch dressing, or spicy queso dip on the side. Watch them disappear fast!
