Crispy and savory Taco Egg Rolls filled with seasoned ground beef, perfect as a flavorful appetizer or snack. These easy-to-make egg rolls combine the zest of taco seasoning with the satisfying crunch of air-fried wrappers.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz) taco seasoning mix
  • 2/3 cup water (for taco seasoning)

Assembly

  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Cooking spray or oil for air fryer basket

Instructions

  1. Prepare the taco meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water, then simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and flavors meld.
  2. Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the taco meat mixture into the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly and roll up towards the top corner. Seal the edge with a little water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 3 minutes.
  4. Air fry the egg rolls: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the egg rolls in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch. Spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove egg rolls carefully and let cool for a minute. Serve hot with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor and texture, add shredded cheese, diced onions, or chopped peppers to the taco filling.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, egg rolls can be baked in a 425°F oven for 15-20 minutes or until crispy, turning once.
  • Keep egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel while assembling to prevent drying out.
  • These egg rolls can be frozen uncooked. To cook, add a few extra minutes to the air frying time.
