Serve immediately with your favorite salsa, ranch dressing, or a combination of both.
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.

You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.

Jun 22, 2025These egg rolls are amazing! My family loved them. I added a little bit of diced red bell pepper to the filling for extra flavor and color.

Oct 17, 2024I really liked these, but my kids thought they were too spicy. I'll reduce the amount of cumin next time.
Hyman Kunze
Sep 13, 2024The filling is delicious, but I had some trouble getting the egg rolls to seal properly. Next time, I'll try using a little egg wash instead of just water.

Sep 2, 2024Be careful not to overfill the egg rolls, or they will burst open during frying. I learned that the hard way!

Sep 5, 2023These were a bit bland for my taste. Next time, I'll add some more spices, like chili powder and cumin.
