Step 1: Prepare the Filling

• In a mixing bowl, combine the diced jalapeños, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar. Stir everything together until it’s well mixed. This creamy, spicy mixture will be the heart of your egg rolls.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

• Take one egg roll wrapper and place it on a flat surface with a corner facing you (like a diamond shape). Add about a tablespoon of the filling to the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll it up tightly, sealing the edge with a bit of water. Repeat until all the filling is used up.

Step 3: Fry to Perfection

• Heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot (around 350°F if you’re fancy with a thermometer), add the egg rolls in small batches. Fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Pro Tip: If you’re air frying, set the temperature to 375°F and cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. They’ll still come out golden and delicious with less oil.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

• Serve these crispy beauties with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch, sour cream, or even a zesty salsa all work great. Trust me, you’ll be reaching for seconds (or thirds) before you know it.
