Beef And Cheese Borek\/Egg Rolls<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
  • 1 pound of ground beef (choose 85\/15 or 90\/10)<\/li>
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil<\/li>
  • 2 teaspoons of minced garlic<\/li>
  • 2 teaspoons of paprika<\/li>
  • 2 teaspoons of allspice<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon of coriander<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon of salt (adjust to your liking)<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin<\/li>
  • 1\/2 teaspoon of black pepper<\/li>
  • 1\/2 teaspoon of turmeric<\/li>
  • 2 tablespoons of finely chopped parsley<\/li>
  • 2 tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro<\/li>
  • 2 small roma tomatoes (diced)<\/li>
  • 1 to 2 cups of crumbled ackawi cheese (adjust to taste)<\/li>
  • 1 to 2 cups of shredded mozzarella (adjust to taste)<\/li>
  • 40 to 50 egg roll wrappers<\/li>
  • Vegetable oil for frying<\/li>
  • Optional: avocado oil spray for air frying<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
    \n\t\t
    1. Heat a pan over medium heat and add olive oil and garlic. Let them sizzle for about a minute.<\/li>
    2. Add the ground beef along with paprika, allspice, coriander, salt, cumin, black pepper, and turmeric.<\/li>
    3. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break up the ground beef.<\/li>
    4. Once the beef is browned and finely minced, turn off the heat and add parsley, cilantro, and chopped tomatoes. Mix well and transfer to a bowl to cool.<\/li>
    5. Once the beef mixture reaches room temperature, add the ackawi cheese and mozzarella. Mix everything together.<\/li>
    6. Take an egg roll wrapper and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling along one edge.<\/li>
    7. Fold the left and right sides toward the center, then roll until you’re almost at the end. Brush the end with water and finish rolling to seal tightly.<\/li>
    8. To pan fry: Heat oil in a pan and fry the egg rolls until golden brown on both sides. Drain excess oil on a paper towel.<\/li>
    9. To air fry: Preheat the air fryer to 375\u00b0F. Spray the basket and egg rolls with avocado oil spray. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, flip, and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes until golden and crispy.<\/li>
    10. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce!<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
      \n\t\t

      Quick tip: If you can’t find ackawi cheese, you can use more mozzarella or any cheese you like. And if you want to store them, pop them in a ziploc bag and freeze until you’re ready to fry! Enjoy!<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
