Pro Tips

Frequently Asked Questions
→ How do you prevent the rolls from bursting during frying?
Sealing the edges of the rolls tightly by moistening them with water and rolling firmly helps prevent bursting. Also, avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain consistent oil temperature.
Ezoic
→ Can the rolls be baked instead of fried?
Yes, baking at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, achieves a crispy texture with less oil.
→ How do you control the heat level in these rolls?
Adjust the number of jalapeños or remove the seeds to reduce spiciness. Adding more jalapeños or including their seeds increases the heat.
→ What cheese combinations work best for filling?
A mix of cream cheese with shredded cheddar and mozzarella adds creaminess, sharpness, and meltiness, balancing flavor and texture.
→ Are there vegetarian alternatives for the filling?
Bacon can be substituted with black beans or diced bell peppers for a vegetarian-friendly variation without sacrificing texture.
