Texas Twinkies Egg Rolls with Honey

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the brisket, jalapeños, cream cheese, cheddar or pepper jack, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling near one corner.
3. Roll tightly by folding the bottom corner over the filling, tucking in the sides, and rolling to the top. Dab water on the final edge to seal.
4. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a skillet or deep pot. Fry the egg rolls for 3–4 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
5. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
6. Drizzle warm honey over the hot egg rolls.
7. Serve immediately for the crispiest texture and meltiest filling.

Variations

• Use pulled pork or smoked chicken instead of brisket.
• Add diced bacon for extra smokiness.
• Mix in a spoonful of chopped pickled jalapeños for tangy heat.
• Swap honey for hot honey to dial up the spice.
• Serve with ranch, chipotle mayo, or BBQ sauce for dipping.

Tips

• Roll the wrappers tightly to prevent leaks during frying.
• Keep the oil at a steady 350°F for even crisping.
• If using an air fryer, lightly brush or spray the rolls with oil for maximum crunch.
• Soften the cream cheese fully so the filling mixes smoothly.
• Serve immediately—egg rolls lose crispness as they cool.
