  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 – 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 24 egg roll wraps
  • flour
  • vegetable oil

Directions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cheddar and monterey cheese, chilies, salt, pepper, cumin and garlic and stir.
  2. Place the egg roll skins on a cutting board and lightly brush the edges with water.

  4. Fold into a triangle, brush the edges with water again, and press together.
  5. Dust with flour and deep fry hot oil until golden brown.
