Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 1 Pound (lb) beef, ground
• 1 Large onion, minced
• 5 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Whole red bell pepper, minced
• 1 Ounce (oz) package taco seasoning, packaged
• 8 Ounces (oz) jar taco sauce, packaged
• 4 16 Ounces (oz) packages egg roll wrappers, packaged
• 1 Pound (lb) processed cheese food (i.e., Velveeta®), sliced
• 2 Whole egg whites, whisked
• 2 Quarts (qt) canola oil

Steps

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink.
2. Reduce heat to medium and mix in 1 minced large onion, 5 minced garlic cloves, and 1 minced red bell pepper. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in 1 package of taco seasoning and 1 jar of taco sauce. Cook and stir until the sauce begins to bubble, about 5 minutes more.
4. On a clean, flat surface, place 1 egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you. Add 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture in the center and top with a slice of cheese.
5. Fold the corner closest to you over the filling and roll the wrapper 1-1/2 times. Fold in the two opposite side corners and continue rolling, tucking them in.
6. Dip two fingers in the whisked egg whites and brush the remaining corner to seal. Repeat with a second egg roll wrapper. Let rest briefly to dry.
7. If not serving immediately, preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a dish with paper towels.
8. Pour 2 quarts of canola oil into a large wok over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, carefully add 2-3 egg rolls. Cook until golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
9. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared dish. Keep warm in the oven for up to 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining egg rolls.
