Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls combine the creamy, cheesy goodness of a classic jalapeno popper with the crispy, golden texture of an egg roll. This irresistible snack or appetizer packs a punch of flavor with a perfect balance of heat, creaminess, and crunch in every bite.

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced jalapenos (fresh or pickled)

1/4 cup cooked and crumbled beef

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

10 egg roll wrappers

Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, crumbled beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and creamy.
  2. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  3. Fold in the sides of the wrapper and roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with a little water to make sure the filling stays inside.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry the egg rolls in batches, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Once done, remove the egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add extra jalapenos or a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling.
  • You can substitute the beef with chicken or sausage if you prefer.
  • For a healthier version, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of frying.
  • These egg rolls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, blue cheese dressing, or sriracha mayo.
