  1. Filling Variation: Feel free to customize the filling according to your preferences. You can add ingredients like diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
  2. Tortilla Size: Use large egg roll wrappers to ensure you can fit an ample amount of filling without overstuffing.
  3. Sealing: Make sure to seal the edges of the egg rolls tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out during frying.
