Brandon’s Egg Roll Tacos

Category: Dinner

Cooking Method: Stovetop Cooking

Cuisine: Asian

Ingredients

Taco Filling:

1 pound (about 450g) minced chicken, turkey, or pork

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon chili crisp

1 tablespoon minced garlic (or 2 cloves of garlic, minced)

1 tablespoon minced ginger (or half an inch of ginger, minced)

1 cup cabbage and carrot mixture (or store-bought salad dressing or mixed salad dressing)

Tacos:

6-8 small flour tacos (Mission Street Taco brand tacos recommended)

2-3 tablespoons avocado oil or toasted sesame oil

Toppings:

More fresh cabbage/carrot mixture

Fresh cilantro or green onions

Chili crisp

Gochujang (Korean chili paste)

Instructions

Making the Filling: Combine the minced meat, soy sauce, chili crisp, minced garlic, minced ginger, and vegetables together and mix thoroughly by hand.

Spreading the Filling: Spread the filling evenly on one side of the tacos. It is recommended to fill all the tortilla fillings at once.

Cooking the Tacos: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add oil.

Place the tacos in the skillet in batches, filling side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Flip them over and cook for 1 minute until lightly browned.

Flip them one last time, ensuring the filling side is completely cooked through (chicken and turkey should reach 165°F, pork should reach 160°F).

Plate and Enjoy: Top the tacos with more fresh cabbage, cilantro, or green onions, and your choice of sauce. Fold in half and enjoy—it tastes similar to a folded sandwich made with egg rolls.

Recipe Features:

Easy to Make: The entire recipe takes only 20 minutes to prepare, making it perfect for a quick dinner.

Unique Flavor: Combining the fillings of an egg roll with the form of a taco, served with Korean chili sauce, this recipe offers a unique and delicious flavor.
