Mexican Egg Roll Recipe | homemadeforelle.com

Evenings around my house are a whirlwind!  After getting off of work and picking up my kids from school and daycare, it seems like there is long to-do list once we arrive home.  There is homework, dinner, and baths that all have to happen before I get the kids into a bedtime routine.  In an effort to save time (i.e., survive), I try to keep my dinner recipes under 30 minutes.

One of the best 30-minute recipes I created this week was my Mexican Egg Roll recipe. I combined Boneless Pork Shoulder Seasoned Carnitas with a ton of fresh veggies, piled them into an egg roll wrapper, and baked them until crisp.  It turned out to be such an easy recipe that packed in a ton of flavor. My whole family loved them!

My secret to making these Mexican Egg Rolls in only 30 minutes is to use Smithfield Marinated Boneless Pork Shoulder Seasoned Carnitas.  Smithfield Marinated 100% pork products adds fantastic, developed flavors to a dish, while saving time.

I simply added the carnitas to a slow cooker with a little bit of water, and set it on low in the morning.  By evening, my house smells delicious and I am 25 minutes away from the best homemade Mexican Egg Roll recipe.

Smithfield Marinated Pork comes in a variety of options for other quick and tasty dinners: Sweet & Smoky Boneless Roast, Homestyle Boneless Roast, Hardwood Smoked Bacon & Cracked Black Pepper Tenderloin, and of course, their Boneless Pork Shoulder Seasoned Carnitas. 

I find it so convenient to have a marinated roast in the fridge or freezer, ready to pair up with fresh veggies for a healthy and delicious dinner for my family.

I used my coupon and shopped at Walmart to find the best deals, and ensure I stayed within my weekly grocery and household supply budget.

    “30 minute recipe”….? I don’t think so. These take a HUGE amount of time to put together. Yes, the pork is a crock pot item….but the carrots, onions, chilies, cabbage…all need to be finely chopped…sauted…and then put into a food processor….and then put back in the pan….and the pork needs to be shredded and added…and then it all needs to be rolled into the egg roll wrappers and then baked. Please tell me WHO can do all this in 30 minutes??? I spent well over 2 hours putting these together for dinner. Not exactly a “quick…can’t believe it’s so quick” dinner. Nope. I made these on a Saturday afternoon. Yes, they are good…but this surely is NOT a quick, easy-to-put-together mid week dinner!

      Hi Tricia – I am sorry you experienced a large disparity in the time it took to prepare these. When I make these in 30 minutes, pre-chopped veggies save a ton of time, and I have become quite quick at rolling egg-rolls over the years. Your comment made me realize that this may not be a realistic time for everyone though – so I appreciate you sharing your feedback. 🙂 I will adjust some things in my post so it is apparent that it may take longer.

    I canned the Smithfield carnitas, in pint jars. Pull one out, break up the meat, broil it, and it is ready for dinner, however I decide to use it.
