EASY CHILE RELLENO EGG ROLLS
I love chile rellenos, but they can be time consuming to make from scratch. This is a fast fix! Feel free to spoon your favorite ranchera sauce over the top if serving with rice and beans. This recipe comes from my 76-year-old Japanese mother, who learned it from a Filipino lady she used to work with back in the early 80s. If using wonton wrappers, you can serve these as appetizers. Enjoy!

EASY EGG ROLLS (TWO COOKING METHODS)
I'm always looking for something different and fun. A good recipe to use up leftover meats, too. Adapted from Southern Living, but added a baking method to reduce calories and make healthier. The fried method is so much tastier, but the baking method is a good pinch hitter for those counting calories...which I am. ;-) See this complimentary dipping sauce...Recipe #412580

Tips:
- For crispy egg rolls, make sure to use a generous amount of oil when frying. You want the oil to be hot enough so that the egg rolls sizzle when you add them to the pan.
- If you don't have a deep fryer, you can also fry the egg rolls in a large skillet or wok. Just make sure to use enough oil to cover the egg rolls.
- To make sure the egg rolls are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or duck sauce.
Conclusion:
Egg rolls are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They're easy to make and can be filled with a variety of ingredients, making them a great way to use up leftovers. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect egg rolls that are crispy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at your table.
