Mexican Egg Rolls

I just wanted to list the recipe for the Mexican egg rolls that I conjured up last night. There are few things that I like more than an egg roll and I noticed with the addition of the egg roll dog that everything is possible with the love of egg roll wrappers. I love the idea and everything that a normal Chinese egg roll has in it, but everyone that truly knows me, knows that I like a little something different every now and then and I reinvent the wheel. I was thinking to myself the other day and Laura and I said in unison, Mexican egg roll. The joy of experimenting with flavors for these things is great. I pick what I usually like in a burrito and then I put that into an egg roll wrapper. Beef, corn, rice, beans, and cheese...yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes please. I made a chllli taco ketchup for a dipping sauce for these but you could use guacamole or sour cream or anything else that you might like. Here are the things that you are going to use.

Mexican beef recipe:
1 lb ground beef
1 small can of diced green chillies
1 diced onion
2 tbsp chilli powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 tsp oregano
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 can of sweet corn kernels
1 can refried beans
Monterrey Jack shredded cheese
1 pouch of Old El Paso instant Mexican rice
1 pack egg roll wrappers

Start by browning the ground beef in a pot and adding in the ingredients for the Mexican beef mix above in order listed. Once the onion is transparent in the mix, add in the can of corn and the refried beans into the mix and mix until its like a pasty, beef mix. Take an average spoon and add 2 spoonfulls of beef mixture per egg roll a fork 1 spoonful of rice and a good solid pinch of cheese and put it into the center of the egg roll wrapper. Fold over once, fold in the sides and roll over. Spread room temperature water with a brush over the triagular flap and that will seal the egg roll. One pack of egg rolls has 15 wrappers in it so you will make plenty. Prep all of them and you will simply deep fry them in veggie oil for about 2 minutes each until all sides are golden brown. Place onto a paper towel lined plate and let them rest because they will be really hot. These things are nothing short of amazing and have a ridiculous flavor. The cheese melts into the beef while cooking and it just oozes out and is all yummy. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
