Perfect Cheesy Taco Egg Rolls are full of ground meat, onions, peppers, salsa, refried beans and, of course, cheese! Every bite is perfection! Whether fried or baked, they’re loaded with flavor, making them the ideal snack or appetizer for Taco night.
This is a variation of an old favorite of ours, Bacon Cheeseburger Egg Rolls. These Taco Egg Rolls can be made as spicy as you want, or need. Any ground meat works great. I love them with a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
Use your favorite taco toppings! You are only limited by your imagination! They are delicious! Awesome as a snack and so quick and easy to create. They can be fried or baked.
You should also take a moment to check out our Perfect Breakfast Egg Rolls and Perfect Bacon Cheeseburger Egg Rolls! Both are delicious and most importantly made without bread!
