Mini Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls are a crispy and creamy appetizer filled with spicy jalapeños, savory meat, cheddar, and cream cheese, wrapped in a wonton shell and baked or fried to perfection.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and chopped beef or turkey strips
  • 3–5 jalapenos, seeded and diced
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wonton wrappers (around 22)
  • Butter and vegetable oil for brushing (if baking)
  • Oil for frying (if frying)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, cooked meat, jalapenos, green onions, and garlic powder until well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Lay a wonton wrapper with a corner pointing toward you. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling near the bottom third of the wrapper. Moisten the edges with water using your finger.
  3. Fold the sides toward the center and roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, sealing the edges. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
  4. To Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Place egg rolls seam-side down. Brush with a mixture of melted butter and vegetable oil. Bake for 5 minutes, flip, then bake another 4-5 minutes until golden.
  5. To Fry: Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (177°C). Fry egg rolls for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels.

Notes

  • Adjust the number of jalapenos based on your spice preference.
  • These can be made ahead and frozen before cooking.
  • Serve with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.
  • Try with different meats like turkey or beef for variation.
