These taco egg rolls are a copycat recipe from one of your favorite restaurants. I have added a few favorite ingredients to make them my own and I encourage you to do the same to make them your own. A crispy, golden brown egg roll wrapper surrounds your favorite Tex-Mex flavors.
Dip these southwest egg rolls are perfect dipped in salsa, guacamole, sour cream or any combination of these condiments. Perfect for football games, appetizer parties or anytime you get a craving for a non-traditional egg roll!
ome of my favorites non traditional egg rolls are buffalo chicken dip egg rolls, croque-monsieur egg rolls, Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and my FAVORITE way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers: Thanksgiving egg rolls.
