Ingredients (serves 4):
- 8 egg roll wrappers

- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup of diced red onion
- 1/4 cup of diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup of diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly before using them in the recipe.
- Use a non-stick pan to scramble the eggs to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overfill the egg rolls with the filling, or they may burst open during frying.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
3. Add the black beans to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
4. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and scramble until cooked through.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the shredded cheese and chopped cilantro.
6. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the egg and bean mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
7. Fold the sides of the wrapper towards the center, then roll the wrapper tightly to enclose the filling.
8. Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
9. Heat a deep fryer or a large pot of oil to 375°F.
10. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
11. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
12. Serve the Tex-Mex egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
