Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- Ā½ tsp black pepper
- Ā½ tsp paprika
- Ā½ tsp ground cumin (optional)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 12 spring roll wrappers or egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Cook the beef filling
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2ā3 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Once cooled, mix in the shredded cheese. - Assemble the rolls
Lay one wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Place 2ā3 tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture near the bottom edge. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly upward. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. - Heat the oil
In a deep pan or skillet, heat about 1Ā½ inches of vegetable oil to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C). The oil should be hot enough that a small piece of wrapper sizzles immediately. - Fry until crispy
Carefully place the rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for 3ā4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. - Drain and serve
Remove the rolls with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
āØ Tip: For a lighter option, brush the rolls with oil and bake at 400Ā°F (200Ā°C) for 18ā20 minutes, turning once, until crisp and golden.
