How to Make Texas Twinkies Egg Rolls Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine chopped brisket, cream cheese, shredded cheese, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling near the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, roll tightly, and brush the top corner with egg wash to seal.

Step 3: Fry Until Crispy

Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
