Yes, your eyes are seeing correctly. These are my husband’s epic Taco Egg Rolls! Who knew that an egg roll wrapper was the perfect vessel for more than just traditional Asian fillings? Honestly, it’s like a whole new culinary world has opened to me. All it took to get these ridiculously yummy rolls together was some store bought egg roll wrappers, taco seasoned ground beef, and our favorite taco fixings.

Tuck everything into the wrapper and fry them up for one epically crunchy and tasty taco bite! My youngest could not stop raving about them throughout the whole meal and we easily scarfed down the batch. Try these tonight!

Quick tip: If frying foods isn’t your thing these can be baked in a 400 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn—when they’re golden brown and crispy they’re done.
