How to make these air fried Philly cheesesteak egg rolls

Making the beef and vegetable filling

To make the filling, start by dicing the peppers, onion, and mushrooms.  You want the pieces to be as small as possible so that they incorporate nicely into the beef.  Add olive oil spray to the frying pan, and heat the pan over medium high heat.  Add the vegetables to the pan.  Cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes.  Cover the vegetables with a lid, and cook the vegetables covered for 10 minutes. This will help the vegetables steam and cook down nicely.  After 10 minutes, remove the lid and cook the vegetables for another 5 minutes or until they are tender, cooked down and slightly caramelized. 

Next, add the beef to the pan.  Break it apart with a wooden spoon.  Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and salt to the meat.  Cook the meat for about 5-8 minutes or until it is no longer pink.  Then, add the Worcestershire and tomato paste to the pan stir to incorporate. 

Let the filling cool before assembling the egg rolls.  This is an important step!

Assembling the egg rolls

Lay the egg roll wrappers out on your work station, and prepare a small bowl of water to seal the wrappers once rolled. 

Add 1/3 cup of the filling to the center of each egg roll.  Top with 1/2 slice of cheese.  To roll the egg rolls, face the egg roll wrappers towards you in a diamond shape.  Roll the bottom point up, and then fold in the sides.  Using your finger, wet the edges of the remaining point and then finish rolling the egg roll wrapper up, sealing with the wet point.

Spray the basket of the air fryer with non-stick cooking spray, and add the egg rolls to the air fryer (to prevent overcrowding, you might need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer basket). I worked in two batches of 6 egg rolls each.

Spray the tops of the egg rolls with more non-stick spray, and air fry the egg rolls at 370 for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.

Serve alone, or with queso for dipping; my dipping sauce shown here is sour cream with a drizzle of hot sauce.

• Add olive oil spray to a frying pan over medium high heat, and add the vegetables.
• Cook the vegetables for 5 minutes, and then cover the pot with a lid.
• Reduce the heat to medium and allow the vegetables to cook down while covered.
• Remove the cover, toss the vegetables and cook for another 5 minutes or until cooked down, tender, and slightly caramelized.
• Raise the heat to medium high. Add the ground beef to the pan and break it apart with a wooden spoon.
