Description

These irresistibly crispy and cheesy taco sticks are packed with seasoned ground beef and melted cheddar, perfect for a fun snack or party appetizer.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound lean ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package egg roll wrappers (approx. 20 wrappers)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)


Instructions

Step 1: Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no pink remains, then drain any excess fat.
Step 2: Stir in the taco seasoning mix with a small amount of water as directed on the packet, and cook for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
Step 3: Remove the skillet from heat, add the shredded cheddar cheese, and stir until completely melted and well combined with the seasoned beef.
Step 4: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheesy taco meat mixture in the center.
Step 5: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the left and right corners. Roll the wrapper tightly upwards towards the top corner, dabbing the top edge with water to seal. Repeat for all wrappers.
Step 6: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the rolled taco sticks with space between them.
Step 7: Lightly brush the tops of the taco sticks with olive oil for a golden, crispy finish.
Step 8: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sticks are golden brown and wonderfully crispy.
Step 9: Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dips like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Notes

For extra spice, add diced jalapeños to the meat filling. These also freeze well uncooked; simply bake from frozen, adding extra time.
