Ingredients

  • 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying
  • 12 Egg roll wrappers
  • 6 cups Birria meat (prepared and shredded beef)
  • 4 cups Oaxaca or Mozzarella shredded cheese
  • 1 cup Cilantro chopped
  • 1 cup Onions diced
  • Water in a bowl to help close wrappers

Instructions

  • Heat up your oil to 350°F in a large skillet or deep fryer.
  • Place one egg roll wrapper down on a clean, dry surface. Make sure the pointed corner of the wrapper is facing towards you, and away from you- in the shape of a diamond.
  • Place a couple tablespoons of the beef Birria towards the center of the egg roll wrapper. Now place a tablespoon of the shredded cheese.
  • Next, sprinkle on a little bit of the cilantro and the onions. 
  • Fold the corner that is closest to you, over the meat and cheese mixture and press and pull it towards you as you begin to roll.
  • No fold each side in towards the center of the wrapper, and continue rolling. Be sure to keep the roll as tight as possible. If the wrapper tears a little, you can finish rolling, and then roll it into another wrapper (so double wrap the rolls).
  • Once you get toward the top point, dip your finger tips in the water and run your fingers along the top edges of the wrapper. Close it tight to seal.
  • Continue rolling all of the egg rolls until you are out of filling.
  • To fry: add the egg rolls into the hot oil, careful not to splash the oil, and do not overcrowd the skillet or deep fryer.
  • Fry the egg rolls on each side for 2-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Remove them from the hot oil and set them on a bed of paper towels, or a cooling rack to drain the excess grease. 
  • Continue frying the egg rolls until they are all cooked through. 
  • Serve with your favorite salsa, and Consome for dipping!
