Tex-Mex Egg Rolls/Won Tons Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 small to med. chopped onion
1 chopped green pepper
1 — 15 oz. can refried beans
1 – 1 1/2 shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tbl. Ketchup
3 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 pkg. egg roll skins or 1–2 packages of won ton wrappers
Directions:
For filling: In a large skillet cook ground beef, onion and green pepper till meat is brown and vegetables are tender. Drain off fat.Stir in beans, cheese, ketchup, chili powder and cumin into meat mixture; mix well.Generously dust waxed paper with cornstarch. Place an egg roll skin with one point toward you. Spoon a generous teaspoon of meat mixture onto center of skin. Moisten all 4 edges of the egg roll skin or won ton wrapper with water. Fold bottom point of skin over filling; tuck point under filling. Fold side corners over, forming an envelope shape. Roll up toward remaining corner; moisten point and press to seal. Place on cornstarch coated waxed paper.Repeat with remaining egg roll skins and filling. Fry, a few at a time, in hot oil (at 375degrees), deep enough to cover at least half way up the egg roll and fry 2 — 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
