Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef or turkey
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup cooked black beans
• ½ cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• ½ cup diced bell peppers
• 8–10 egg roll wrappers
• 2–3 tbsp oil (for brushing or pan-frying)
• Optional: sour cream or salsa for dipping

Instructions

1. Cook the Filling
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in beans, corn, and bell peppers. Cook for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls
   Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape. Spoon 2–3 tbsp of the filling in the center, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Fold the sides over the filling, roll tightly, and seal edges with a little water.
3. Cook the Egg Rolls
   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet with 2–3 tbsp oil. Brush egg rolls lightly with oil and bake for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy. For pan-frying, cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
4. Serve
   Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for dipping.
