Step 1
Start by heating some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook it until it’s nicely browned and no longer pink. Turn the heat down to medium, then toss in the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Let everything cook together until the veggies soften, which should take about 5 minutes. Next, stir in the taco seasoning and taco sauce, and keep cooking for another 5 minutes or so, until the sauce starts to bubble.

Step 2
Find a clean, flat spot to work on and lay out an egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you like a diamond. Spoon about a tablespoon of the beef mixture into the center and top it with a slice of cheese. Fold the corner closest to you over the filling and roll it over about one and a half times. Then fold in the two side corners and keep rolling, tucking everything in neatly. Dip two fingers in some egg whites and brush the last corner to seal the wrapper. Let the egg roll rest for a bit so the seal sets. Repeat with the next wrapper.

Step 3
If you’re not serving them right away, preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a heat-proof dish with paper towels. Pour some canola oil into a large wok and heat it over medium-high. When the oil starts shimmering, carefully add two or three egg rolls. Fry them until the wrappers turn golden and bubbly, which only takes about 30 seconds to a minute. Use a slotted spoon to take them out and place them on the paper towel-lined dish. Pop the dish in the oven to keep them warm, but be sure to remove them after 15 minutes or lower the temperature. Keep frying the rest of the egg rolls the same way.
