These Chorizo Egg Rolls Are An Awesome Twist

The egg roll has become a classic staple of Chinese takeout menus across the world. It dates back to the 1920s when it was first created in the city of Tianjin in China. The original egg roll was filled with pork and cabbage and served with a light soy sauce. It quickly became a favorite with Chinese immigrants who moved to the United States and by the 1940s, it was an iconic part of Chinese cuisine in America.

Today, egg rolls come in a variety of different flavors and fillings, from pork, beef, and shrimp to cheese and vegetables. But if you’re looking to take your egg rolls up a notch, why not try making them with chorizo?
