Mexican Egg Rolls recipe (Appetizer)

Instructions

In a heavy skillet begin to brown ground beef in 1 tablespoon oil. Add onion, green pepper, garlic, jalapeno(s), salt, chili powder, cumin and oregano. Stir to combine and continue to stir until onion and pepper begin to soften; drain well.

Fold bottom point of skin up to cover meat mixture. Fold left and right points into the center. Lastly, fold top point down to form a roll. Brush on beaten egg whites to seal.

Heat oil in deep fryer to 350ΒΊ F. Cook rolls a few at a time in the fryer until brown (approximately 1 minute). Drain on paper towels.
