Easy egg roll recipe

https://www.tasteandtellblog.com/easy-egg-rolls/#tasty-recipes-29981

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1-quart vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon water
• 3 cups coleslaw mix
• 12 egg roll wrappers

Instructions

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the pork, breaking it up as it cooks. When it is halfway cooked, sprinkle the ground ginger and garlic powder over the pork and stir to coat the meat evenly. Continue to cook until the pork is no longer pink. Set aside.
2. In another large heavy pot, heat oil to 375ºF or medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, combine the flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste. In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and reserved pork mixture. Mix it all together.
3. Lay out one egg roll skin with a corner pointed toward you. Place about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the pork mixture on the egg roll paper and fold the corner up over the mixture. Fold left and right corners toward the center and continue to roll. Brush a bit of the flour paste on the final corner to help seal the egg roll.
4. Place the egg rolls into the heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels or a rack.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa
• 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, chopped, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce from the can
• 1 14-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, skin removed
• 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
• Kosher salt
• 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
• 1 1/3 cups cooked white rice, warmed
• 1 1/3 cups shredded monterey jack cheese (about 5 ounces)
• 1 1/3 cups shredded romaine lettuce
• Guacamole, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup pico de gallo, the chopped chipotle, and adobo sauce to taste; cook until the mixture starts to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add the beans and 3/4 cup water; bring to a low boil, then stir in the chicken and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt.
2. Heat the tortillas as the label directs. Arrange the rice horizontally in the lower half of each tortilla, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border on all sides. Top evenly with the cheese, chicken mixture, lettuce and the remaining pico de gallo.
3. Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla snugly over the filling, tuck in the sides and roll up tightly. Cut the burritos in half and serve with guacamole.
