📋 Ingredients

Protein & Base

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (or substitute with ground turkey/chicken)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size for easier rolling)

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • ½ cup yellow onion, finely diced
  • ½ cup green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (drained)
  • Handful iceberg lettuce, shredded

Cheese & Toppings

  • 1 cup warm nacho cheese sauce (or shredded cheddar + a splash of milk)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos (for crunch!)

For Cooking

  • Oil or cooking spray (for pan-frying)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Beef Filling

  1. Brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add onion & bell pepper – Cook 4 mins until softened.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning and cook 1 more minute. Remove from heat.

2️⃣ Prep the Cheese Mixture

  • In a bowl, mix nacho cheese sauce + drained diced tomatoes.

3️⃣ Assemble the Egg Rolls

  1. Lay tortillas flat and spread a strip of cheese mixture down the center.
  2. Layer on beef, sour cream, lettuce, and crushed Doritos.
  3. Fold & roll tightly:
  • Fold in sides first.
  • Roll up from the bottom, sealing the edge with a dab of cheese or water.

4️⃣ Pan-Fry Until Crispy

  • Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook rolls seam-side down first, turning until golden brown on all sides (~2-3 mins per side).

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

  • Let cool 1-2 mins (filling will be HOT!).
  • Slice diagonally and serve with:
  • Extra cheese sauce
  • Guacamole
  • Pico de gallo

🔹 Make ahead – Assemble, cover, and refrigerate up to 4 hours before frying.
