I needed an appetizer for a party this weekend so I looked through the fridge and found these leftovers. Mixed them all up and Fajita Rolls were born. ChefMeows Sauted Caraway Bell Pepper recipe is very spicy as is the taco beef so these have a real kick.

Ingredients
- 1lb lean ground beef shopping list
- 1/4c minced onion shopping list
- 1 minced fresh jalapeno pepper shopping list
- 1 cup Sauteed Caraway Bell Peppers, minced shopping list
- --- OR -- 1/2cup tiny diced fresh bell peppers shopping list
- 2 tbsp Taco Potion 19 Alton Brown shopping list
- 1/2 cup hot water shopping list
- 1/2 cup Uncle Ben's Ready rice Pilaf, cooked shopping list
- 14 Egg roll wrappers shopping list
- 1 tbsp cooking oil shopping list
How to make it
- In a large skillet heated to medium high, crumble the ground beef and brown it. Add the minced onion and peppers. The use of Sauteed Caraway Bell peppers is optional but I had left overs from a prior meal that week and found the caraway flavor really came through and made the Fiesta Rolls rural Mexico, rather than fancy city dudes.
- Mix the Taco Potion 19 Alton Brown in the hot water then pour over the beef mixture. reduce heat to about 3 and simmer uncovered until the liquid is mostly gone. About 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Lay out the eggroll wrappers so you can go into assembly line mode when you are rolling them up. The eggroll wrapper people usually include a simple diagram to instruct on best method for rolling the eggrolls.
- Combine the cooled beef mixture and rice in a large bowl. Place 2 tablespoons of mixture onto eggroll and wrap them up. Use a little water or eggwhite wash to seal the end. Place rolls, seam side down, on an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush each roll with a bit of oil. I recommend baking parchment if you have it.
- Bake on 400 for 20-25 minutes
That's all that are left

These sound yummy! I like it the way you said "The egg roll wrapper people...", that's funny! It takes a very good cook to combine what he/she has on hand and turn it into a delicious meal, which is what you've done!

Very well thought out, otter! I'm not quite as adept at changing things up to make a different things altogether. Kudos! My thanks and my five.
