Appetizers are always something I like to look at on a menu.
Unless I am going to order one for my meal, it's rare that IT Guy and I
indulge, though. It's good to know that if I want appetizer food, I can
make it at home..like these little guys! How good are they? Very! After
my daughter ate one, she said...."Mom, if these were on a menu, I'd
order them." Pretty nice compliment, I'd say.
Southwest Eggrolls

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 package of egg roll or wonton wrappers
1 egg - beaten
Cook ground beef until almost done then add cumin, chili powder, salt and cayenne pepper. Mix well and continue cooking until meat is no longer pink.
Heat some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
In a large bowl, combine cooked meat, corn, green chilies and green onions. Toss to combine.
Place 2 - 3 tablespoons of meat mixture onto an eggroll wrapper and top with some cheese.
Paint the edges of the wrapper with some beaten egg then fold to enclose the filling.
Fry for a few minutes until wrapper is golden brown on both sides.

Okee doke...here we go.
Cook the ground beef until almost done then add the spices and cook the rest of the way.
Combine the cooked meat, the corn, green chilies and green onion.
Add some of the meat mixture and the grated cheese to a wrapper. Paint the edges of the wrapper with some beaten egg.
I turn my wrappers on an angle then fold up the bottom and tuck the filling in.
Then fold in the sides.
Then finish with securing the top. Done!
Fry
them up until nice and golden. All your doing here is browning the
wrapper since the stuff inside is already cooked. You could even try
brushing the wrappers with a little olive oil and baking them until
they're crispy. That would be fine.
