A great idea for spring roll wrappers.

In a previous post I gave you a recipe or idea on won tons I believe. Well here is an idea for using the spring roll wrappers. Most of this idea we picked up from the Macedo's kitchen of awesome cooking when we had beef tongue tacos last week.

First for our meat ingredient we used the recipe for the meat for the won tons:

8 ounces or small package of ground meat...can use sausage type too....for this we used one package of ground pork and a small package of wild pork ground sausage
one or two bunches of cilantro
grated orange peel
dashes of red pepper flakes
ginger....already minced in a jar or fresh and then grated..I use a generous amount
garlic...shopped finely from a jar or fresh....I use a generous amount
Dashes of some salt

Now I process this all in a processor. It grinds up the meat and cilantro very finely.
Cook the meat mixture.
Drain and let cool in a strainer of some type.

One can of black beans. I used the largest can Safeway had.
Frozen corn
one small can of diced jalapenos
one small can of diced green chilie peppers
Drain beans, jalapenos and chilies in strainer before mixing together.

Once the meat is cooled mix everything above with the meat mixture.

Lay out your spring roll wrapper on a plate and place a large portion of the mixture in the middle and roll up. To seal the wrapper lightly wet the edge with water and then place on a greased flat large cookie sheet.



I actually covered my cookie sheet with foil them sprayed the foil with Pam.

After you wrap up all the wrappers you have and place them on the cooking sheet I lightly brushed olive oil on the top and bottom of the wrappers.

Place in oven on 350'
Cook till lightly brown on the the top and then flip each wrapper and put back into over.
I did this twice or so until the wrappers get a nice golden brown almost like when you would fry them. But this avoids the bad for you part by cooking in the oven and they are fabulous.

Now the man likes his with soy sauce and I like mine with Herdez green cause thats what the Macedo's served with the ones we had at their place. And they are just as good the next day as left overs too !!
