Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Chile Relleno Egg Rolls.
Step 1
Begin by placing an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, oriented like a diamond.
Step 2
Position a slice of green chile horizontally about an inch from the bottom point of the wrapper.
Step 3
Layer a strip of Monterey Jack cheese atop the green chile for a delightful flavor combination.
Step 4
To ensure a secure seal, lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with your fingertip dipped in water.
Step 5
Gently roll the wrapper over the filling, starting from the point closest to you.
Step 6
Next, fold in both sides of the wrapper, pressing firmly to encase the filling.
Step 7
Continue rolling away from you until the filling is completely enclosed.
Step 8
Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers, chiles, and cheese strips, creating a delicious assembly line of egg rolls.
Step 9
In a deep frying pan, heat approximately half an inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 10
Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning them once, until they achieve a golden brown hue on both sides, which should take about two to three minutes.
Step 11
Keep a watchful eye to prevent any burning mishaps.
Step 12
Once they are perfectly cooked, transfer the egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 13
Allow them to cool for a few moments before indulging in these crispy, cheesy delights.
Step 14
Enjoy the satisfying crunch and the burst of flavors in every bite!.
