Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 small yellow onion, small dice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pinch of each salt and pepper
- 1 heaping teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 1/2 cups green chile enchilada sauce, divided
- 2 heaping tablespoons green hatch chilies, diced
- 1 lime, zest and juiced
- 2–3 scallions, chopped
- 1 handful cilantro, chopped and divided in 1/2
- 1 heaping cup grated Monterey jack cheese (other other melty cheese)
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- olive oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream (I used Forager Project’s Dairy Free)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Using a medium sized skillet, start cooking the ground beef and onions over medium high heat. Breaking up the meat into small pieces using a wooden spoon. When the meat is no longer pink and fully cooked turn the heat off. Drain any fat off.
- Return the pan to the heat and turn it to low. Add in the garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and cumin. Toss to combine everything and cook for 1 minutes. Turn the heat off.
- Pour in all the enchilada sauce – reserving 3 tablespoons for the sauce, green chiles, lime zest, juice, scallions and cilantro. Mix to combine everything. Let cool for 5-10 minutes or until you can handle the meat.
- To make the chile sauce – combine the sour cream, 1/2 the cilantro and 3 tablespoons of the enchilada sauce.
- Sprinkle in the cheese and toss with tongs or a fork to combine.
- To assemble the rolls, lay one wrapper on a cutting board or flat surface in a diamond with one corner pointing up and down. Spoon in about 2 heaping tablespoons of the meat and chile mixture into the middle of the wrapper, going from left to right – leaving about 1- 1 1/2 inches on either side.
- Fold bottom corner over filling and roll snugly half-way to cover the filling. Fold in both side tightly against the filling. Moisten slightly the edges of the top of the last flap with water. Roll it upwards and seal the top corner. Lay the roll on the fold side down on the prepared sheet pan.
- Repeat until all the meat is filled in the wrappers. Brush the tops with a small amount of olive oil.
- Bake on the first side for 6 minutes. Flip all the rolls over and cook for 4-6 minutes or until browned – don’t exceed 6 minutes of cooking time on the second side. Remove from the oven and serve with the chile dip.
