Crispy Pork Egg Rolls with Creamy Ranch Dip

These pork egg rolls are one of our favorite ways to turn a big batch of Boston butt into something completely new and crave-worthy. Crispy on the outside, cheesy and savory on the inside—they’re simple to make and always a hit.


We usually start by cooking a whole Boston butt ahead of time (either in the smoker or crockpot after searing all sides). Once it’s tender, we pull the meat apart and set aside 5 cups for this recipe. The rest gets saved for another meal—because around here, we love making one thing stretch into many.


Ingredients

  • 5 cups pre-cooked Boston butt, shredded

  • ½ onion, finely minced

  • 1 cup fiesta blend shredded cheese

  • 10 medium flour tortillas

  • ½ cup avocado oil (for frying)


Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the shredded pork, minced onion, and fiesta cheese. Mix well until everything is evenly combined—the cheese should be nicely distributed throughout the meat.


Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about ½ cup of the pork mixture into the center, then gently spread it slightly toward you to help with rolling.


Begin rolling the tortilla forward, folding in the sides as you go to create that classic egg roll shape. Just before finishing, add a small dab of water along the edge of the tortilla to help seal it closed.


Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat slightly to low–medium. Place each roll seam-side down first so it seals as it cooks.



Cook slowly, turning the roll to brown all sides evenly until golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and place on a plate (a paper towel-lined plate works great) to cool slightly.

Slice in half before serving.

Creamy Ranch Dipping Sauce

This cool, creamy ranch dip pairs perfectly with the warm, crispy egg rolls.


Ingredients

  • 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix

  • 8 oz sour cream

Directions

In a bowl, combine the ranch seasoning, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth and fully blended.


Transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to serve. This dip is best served cold alongside your hot egg rolls.
