This is a great make-ahead appetizer. Prepare them the day before and instead of cooking them, put them in a storage baggie and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.
On the day of the party, preheat your air fryer to 450 degrees fahrenheit and start cooking. It takes approximately 10 minutes per batch.
You could also cook them in the oven. Just lower the temperature to 350 and cook a few minutes longer on each side.
Tasty Crunchy Taco Logs
Ingredients
1 lb Taco meat - you can use your own recipe or use my Made from Scratch Taco Meat recipe
1 cup shredded cheese - I like a combination of cheese, but cheddar is just fine
20 each eggroll wrappers - you can buy them packaged in the store or use my Take your eggroll appetizers to a new level with this homemade eggroll wrapper recipe
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil - you can use it from the bottle or try my olive oil baste recipe The olive oil baste you’ll want to use on everything
1 cup salsa for dipping
1 cup sour cream for dipping
Directions
- Place eggroll wrapper on working surface in a diamond shape, one tip pointed to you. brush small amount of water along edges (this is for sealing the eggroll).
- Place a line of taco meat in middle of eggroll, leaving space at each end. Sprinkle with hot sauce (optional)
- Place a line of cheese on top of taco meat.
- Starting at the bottom, begin to roll wrapper tightly but gently over meat, stopping midway to tuck in sides like an envelope. Then finish rolling.
- Place another eggroll flat on your rolling surface. Place already rolled eggroll on top of it and roll it up. This is a double roll eggroll. This will give you a nice crispy outside, without the insides leaking out.
- Once all of your eggrolls are done, brush them lightly with your olive oil baste. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning (optional).
- Preheat air fryer to 450 degrees. Lightly oil bottom of air fryer basket. When it is ready, cooking in batches, lay eggrolls flat on the bottom with a little space between each one.
- After 5 minutes, flip over and cook another 3 - 5 minutes. The eggrolls are done, when they reach a golden color.
- Serve with a bowl of salsa and a bowl of sour cream, for dipping.
Notes
- Makes 10 eggrolls.
