What’s the story?
Today I’m sharing one of my family’s favorite go-to recipes that I’ve been making for years. I call these Baked Egg Rolls because the filling bears some resemblance, but that’s really where the likeness ends. I wasn’t sure what else to call them!
Flavorful meat, veggies, and melty cheese all wrapped up in a tortilla that’s crispy on the outside…I bet even your picky eaters might like to give this a try.
Here’s a step-by-step with photos. Enjoy!
Baked Egg Rolls Step-by-Step
Coat a large skillet with olive oil and heat over medium. Halve and then thinly slice 14 oz. smoked (fully cooked) Andouille sausage. Kielbasa, other smoked sausages, or chicken sausage also work very well.
Add the sausage to the skillet and heat for a few minutes until slightly browned, and the fat has rendered a bit. Add pre-packaged coleslaw mix, cooking until the veggies are wilted and tender, stirring frequently.
Spoon filling onto whole wheat tortillas and sprinkle with grated cheese of your choice (I used pepper jack this time).
Roll like a burrito, folding ends over first.
Brush a sheet pan with olive oil and place the rolls on the pan, fold side down.
Brush the rolls with olive oil.
Bake in a preheated 410 degree oven for ten minutes or so — until lightly browned.
Serve warm with salsa (and sour cream is great, too).
