Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Lay a wrapper on a work surface diagonally, so it resembles a diamond. Place a slice of green chile horizontally across wrapper, 1 inch above the bottom point. Lay a strip of Monterey Jack cheese on top of chile.

02

Step
0 mins

Dip an index finger into a small bowl of water and moisten the wrapper edges. Roll wrapper up and over chile and cheese, starting from the point closest to you. Bring in both sides, making sure to press firmly to seal filling. Continue rolling away from you to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining wrappers, chiles, and cheese.

03

Step
0 mins

Heat approximately 1/2 inch oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

04

Step
3 mins

Working in batches, fry rolls in hot oil, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or cumin to the cheese before rolling.
These egg rolls are best served immediately while the cheese is melty and the wrapper is crispy.
Experiment with different cheeses like Oaxaca or pepper jack for a spicier kick.
