Method

  1. Place a wrapper on a work surface in a diamond shape.

  2. Position a slice of green chile horizontally on the wrapper, about 1 inch above the bottom point.

  3. Lay a strip of Monterey Jack cheese on top of the chile.

  4. Dip your index finger in a small bowl of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.

  5. Roll the wrapper up and over the chile and cheese, starting from the closest point to you.

  6. Bring in both sides of the wrapper and press firmly to seal the filling.

  7. Continue rolling away from you to fully enclose the filling.

  8. Repeat these steps with the remaining wrappers, chiles, and cheese.

  9. Heat approximately 1/2 inch of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

  10. Fry the rolls in batches, turning them once, until they turn golden brown on both sides (about 2 to 3 minutes). Be careful not to burn them and watch closely.

  11. Drain the fried rolls on a plate lined with paper towels.

  12. Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.

  13. Note: The amount of chiles and cheese can be adjusted according to your preference, but it may affect the quantity of egg rolls produced. Keep in mind that the nutritional value of oil used for frying may vary depending on factors such as cooking time, temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
