Crispy Baked Taco Egg Rolls are the perfect finger food for a party or just for snacking, with the super crispy exterior and cheesy taco filling. They’re a crowd pleaser.

I like egg rolls, but I like them even better when they’re stuffed with taco filling! They’re one of our favorite Asian/Mexican fusion foods, and so easy to make.

Taco Egg Rolls

These Taco Egg Rolls make a great snack and can be served for Game Day or as an appetizer at a party or barbecue. They can be made ahead and reheated on the bbq if you’re grilling outside.

The taco egg rolls are stuffed with seasoned ground beef, onion, refried beans and cheese. Then just make a quick creamy dipping sauce with sour cream and hot sauce, and you’re all set.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound (340 g) ground beef
  • 1/2 cup (80 g) onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (5 g) taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water
  • 1 cup (240 g) refried beans
  • 1 cup (113 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 spring rolls wrappers
  • 3/4 cup (173 g) sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Chalula hot sauce

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper lining.
  • Cook the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble the beef with a spatula as it cooks. When done, drain any excess oil. Add the taco seasoning and water and stir well to combine. Remove from heat.
  • Work with one wrapper at a time. Add approximately 1 tbsp of refried beans, meat mixture, then shredded cheese to the edge of the wrapper nearest to you, leaving about an inch of wrapper exposed.
  • Fold the left and right sides into the center. Then roll away from you to form a tight roll. Brush the loose ends with a bit of water to stick it down.
  • Add the rolls to the baking sheet. Cook in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the rolls become golden brown. You can flip the rolls over halfway through baking, but it’s not necessary.
  • To make the sauce, combine sour cream with Chalula hot sauce and stir it together.

Notes

  • Use egg roll wrappers or Thai spring roll wrappers interchangeably.
  • You can add additional ingredients to the filling, like cilantro, tomatoes, or avocado.
  • Spice it up by adding Monterrey Jack Cheese instead of cheddar.

What Type of Wrapper to Use

The obvious choice is egg roll wrappers. However, I usually use spring roll wrappers instead. Why is that? I think they turn out a little crispier in the oven with spring roll wrappers.

However, it really doesn’t matter which wrapper you use. They will both turn out great and they cook the same. Base your decision on which one is easier to get, or try them out and see which texture you like better.

Can I Freeze Taco Egg Rolls

Yes, these egg rolls can be frozen and baked whenever you’re ready to serve them. There’s no need to cook them before freezing. If you bake them from frozen, they’ll take around 30 minutes, rather than 20.

Since these keep so well in the freezer, you can make a lot of them at once and save yourself time in the future. They’re great for kids to make for themselves, since all they have to do is take them from the freezer and bake.

    This recipe did not work at all for our family. I used spring roll wrappers and they somehow crisped too much and not enough at the same time. They were completely wrong for this recipe. Maybe if they’d been fried? I’m not sure. We will not be doing this recipe again.
