• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound ground hot pork sausage
• 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can Mexican-style diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 6 green onions, finely chopped

• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 4 cups peanut oil

Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce

Yield: Approx. 3 cups | Prep Time: 10 minutes

• 2 (10-ounce) cans Mexican-style diced tomatoes
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves (about 1 bunch)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• Finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

1. Cook the yellow rice per package instructions, adding 1 teaspoon salt. Let it cool completely for easy mixing.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage, crumbling it until no longer pink. Drain fat well and cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, mix cooled rice, sausage, black beans, diced tomatoes, cheese, green onions, and taco seasoning. Spoon about 1/3 cup onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold top corner over filling, tuck in sides, brush with egg, and roll tightly to seal.
4. Heat peanut oil to 375F in a Dutch oven. Fry egg rolls in batches, 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on a wire rack over paper towels. Serve hot with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce and cilantro garnish for that fresh pop!
