Whether you serve these air fried egg rolls as an appetizer for a crowd, or a main course with some sides, these are sure to please. Air fried Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are the healthy indulgent-tasting meal you never knew you needed! A flavorful mixture of diced cubanelle peppers, onion and mushrooms with lean ground beef is seasoned and piled into eggroll wrappers, and topped with cheese. Wrapped tightly and air fried without the use of heavy oils or deep frying, these egg rolls are crispy and delicious. My favorite way to dip these egg rolls is in sour cream with a drizzle of hot sauce.

12egg roll wrappers

non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Dice the peppers, onion and mushrooms.
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.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt.
Incorporate the spices into the meat and vegetables, and cook for 5-8 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink.
Add the Worcestershire and tomato paste to the pan and stir to combine.
Let the filling cool before assembling the egg rolls. This is an important step!
Add 1/3 cup of the filling to the center of each egg roll wrapper.
Top each portion with 1/2 slice of swiss.
Before rolling the wrappers, prepare a small bowl of water on your work station.
Face each egg roll wrapper towards you so it resembles a diamond shape. Roll each egg roll wrapper starting from the bottom.
Fold the bottom point up, followed by the two sides. Add a small amount of water along the edges of the last point (when facing you, this is the top point).
Finish rolling the wrappers, and the final point will seal them (because of the water).
Roll all 12 egg rolls and set aside.
Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the egg rolls (to prevent overcrowding, this might require two batches).
Spray the tops with more non-stick cooking spray.
Air fry at 370 for 10 minutes (flip halfway).
Serve with queso for dipping, or sour cream with a drizzle of hot sauce (as shown here).
