If cheeseburgers and egg rolls had a love child, this would be it. Crispy, golden egg roll wrappers filled with all the gooey, savory goodness of a cheeseburger—without the deep-fried guilt. These Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls are the kind of snack that makes you want to high-five your future self for being both clever and kind to your waistline.

Why this works

Flavor Mash-Up: All the hallmark cheeseburger elements—seasoned ground beef, melty cheddar, pickles, and a ketchup and mustards—are wrapped up and crisped to perfection.
Healthier Crisp: The air fryer gives you that crunchy exterior you crave with only a spritz of oil, instead of a vat of hot grease.
Make-Ahead Magic: Assemble ahead and freeze or refrigerate for quick dinners, parties, or when the midnight burger mood strikes.
Versatile: Swap beef for turkey, chicken, or a plant-based crumble. Use different cheeses or add veggies—get weird, get wonderful.

Tips & variations

Cheese Pull Upgrade: Mix in a tablespoon of cream cheese with the cheddar for extra gooeyness.
Veg Boost: Add finely shredded carrot or zucchini (squeeze excess moisture) into the beef for extra fiber.
Spicy Option: Mix in chopped jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne, and trade the plain cheddar for pepper jack.
Make-Ahead Freezer Method: Assemble egg rolls and freeze on a baking sheet until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag. Air fry from frozen, adding 2–4 minutes to cook time.
Low-Carb Riff: Us low-carb wraps and crisp in the air fryer for less crunch but still cheeseburger vibes.
