how to make Crispy Nacho Egg Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 4 large flour tortilla wraps
• 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
• 1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 small handful iceberg lettuce, shredded
• 1 cup nacho cheese sauce, warmed
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup nacho cheese Doritos, crushed

Directions:

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned throughout. Drain excess fat carefully.
2. Add the diced yellow onion and chopped green bell pepper to the beef. Cook for approximately 4 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened.
3. Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over the beef and vegetables. Mix thoroughly to coat and let cook for 1 additional minute.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm nacho cheese sauce with the diced tomatoes and green chilies. Stir until fully blended.
5. Lay tortillas flat on a work surface. Spread a generous line of the cheese mixture down the center of each, leaving space at the edges.
6. Evenly layer the seasoned beef over the cheese. Top with small spoonfuls of sour cream, shredded lettuce, and a scattering of crushed Doritos.
7. Fold the sides in toward the center, then roll up each tortilla tightly from the bottom, ensuring the filling is secured within.
8. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the prepared rolls seam-side down and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crisp.
9. Allow to cool briefly before slicing in half if desired. Serve immediately while hot and the cheese is melty.
