Eggrolls are a popular Asian appetizer but it’s also found in American contemporary cuisine filled with various flavor combinations. Today, my friends and I got together to learn more about eggrolls by spending the afternoon rolling some with an assortment of fillings! For my eggroll adventure, I provided several different kinds of fillings including:
Mexican:
ground beef seasoned with southwestern seasoning,
multi-colored bell peppers, black beans, corn, mexican cheese blend

    All those fillings sound delicious to me. My only problem with springrolls is that I can’t stop eating them so it always helps having someone telling me “we need to go now, Lore” 🙂
    Those crab rangoons look sooo tempting!
