And, as I have mentioned before, Mini-Muffin#2 requires dip for his meals. Any kind will do.
So, to combine our favorite meal with some dip, I rolled up our Tacos in Egg rolls instead, and Mini-Muffin#2 (as well as everyone else) dipped them in sour cream.

| Awkward Kitchenette: Taco Egg Rolls |
Yum.
It's kind of like a combination between a chimichanga and flautas, but the cheese is on the inside and it's not a corn tortilla, obviously.

8-10 egg roll wrappers
1 package Mexican shredded cheese

ReplyDeletesuch a creative idea, love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is genius! I love the photos!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea, it sounds amazing! Great idea for an appetizer!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally new to me! We love Mexican and I reckon we will love this!
ReplyDeleteThis is my time visiting your blog and would love to follow you for more of your delicious cooking :D
These look so tasty, if you sub the beef for chicken, do you think it would still work?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteCan you make them ahead of time and freeze them (without baking them) to be baked later?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question - I have no idea about the freeze-ability of uncooked egg rolls. If anyone knows, please chime in!
DeleteI would think so . Brown your meat mix in your cheese add your touch then wrap and freeze .. cook when ready !!
DeleteI freeze my un-used egg roll and won ton wrappers all the time because too many come in a package for me to use at one time. They freeze very well like that.
DeleteGood idea! Your rolls look really tasty!
ReplyDeleteI love Mexican night, can I come next time???? And yes, I have made something similar and frozen them, both cooked and uncooked. I found freezing them on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper works best, when they are frozen, I transfer them to a freezer bag.
ReplyDeleteThese sounds like a good idea.
ReplyDeletenice posting.. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou should add a pinterest button to your recipes. It would make it soooo much easier to pin. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying this for the first time tonight. While I'm sure they'll end up being tasty, I'm seriously frustrated with the egg roll wrappers and my oven. We have a gas stove/oven and it's just refusing to make them crispy. Anyone else have this issue? I may just have to give up and fry them cause right now they are still powdery and soft, even after 30+ minutes in the oven.
ReplyDeleteI am having the same issue it's ticking me off!
ReplyDeleteDid you fry them after all?
ReplyDeleteI tried to make these and it did note turn out well. I tried to fry these first as I see a lot of recipes on pinterest that say to bake but really need to be fried. It exploded into the oil. So i tried to bake them and they didn't bake, it stayed white but also exploded on the pan.
ReplyDeleteThose look great! I do a similar thing, but Italian we can Orgasmic Italian Burritos. http://editedgoodness.blogspot.com/2009/05/orgasmic-italian-burritos.html
ReplyDeleteIm making these tonight! Im sure we will be happy! Ive been making new receipts from pinterest the last few nights and im very happy with every single one! :)
ReplyDeleteFor me, to get these types of things to brown in the oven I typically cook at a higher timep - like 425 (which is the temp a lot of frozen apps ask for). Also, make sure you brush them with oil
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I made these tonight and they turned out great! We followed the recipe exactly and had no problems. Will definitely be making these again!
ReplyDeleteWow a blast from the past!!! My mom used to make these for us when we were kids and I loved them. My kids sound like yours and LOVE taco meat...I'm going to have to make them for dinner tonight!
ReplyDeleteI am making these tonight. These along with my homemade guacamole and salsa will be yummy~I'm going to double/triple the batch so I can freeze some. Great grab and go meal.
