Late Night Snack

So today I decided to take a brake form the gym and fry,Yeah, you heard me right! Fry up some AWESOME, Bacon, Egg, Chorizo and Cheese Breakfast Taquitos!
The perfect late night snack,for the hubby and I :)



Ingredients:

9 Eggs ( set one aside for brushing the rolls)
1 cup of shredded cheese
1 tube of Chorizo from the pack ( I use Garcia chorizo)
1 cup of bacon bits *or just fry up and chop fresh bacon*
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Butter
1 package egg roll wraps ( I use Nasoya egg roll wraps)
Vegetable Oil for Frying


Directions:

Heat your pan up with the olive oil and butter. Cook the bacon bits for a few minutes then add the chorizo.
Cook on med heat until the chorizo is brown then add 8 eggs.
Mix well and continue to cook on low heat or until eggs are fully cooked.
Now add the cup of cheese and mix.

Whisk the extra egg, with a Tsp of water in small bowl.

Now for the rolling of the Taquitos! If you have never rolled an egg roll before, I suggest you watch a video, on how to roll an egg roll. There are TONS of them on YouTube ;)

Place about 2 Tbsp of the egg mixture on the side of your wrap, like so ( See picture below ;)
Then fold in side and roll, wetting the wrap with egg, each and every roll so that the wrap holds together.
I suggest rolling up ALL your Taquitos before you start heating your oil or else your oil will burn to fast.

Heat your Vegetable oil up and then place rolls in, one at a time.
It will only take a few minutes for the Taquitos to come to a golden brown, so watch them carefully and turn them a few times, while they cook.


Place on paper towel, to soak up any extra oil, cool and then enjoy! :D CHEERS!
