Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Season the Mixture: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. If using, add diced pickles for extra flavor. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Add Cheese: Once the beef mixture has cooled, stir in the shredded cheese until well combined.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheese Wraps
- Melt the Cheese Wraps: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Form the Wrappers: Lay the cheese wraps on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until melted and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly to firm up.
Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Fill the Wraps: Take a cheese wrap and place about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture on one end. Roll it up tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to create an egg roll shape. Repeat with the remaining wraps and filling.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the air fryer.
Step 4: Air Fry the Egg Rolls
- Air Fry: Place the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Let Them Cool: Once cooked, remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
- Serve: Enjoy your Keto Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls with sugar-free ketchup or mustard for dipping. They make a great snack, appetizer, or main dish!
Tips for Success
- Cheese Variety: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese wraps or even use almond flour dough if you prefer.
- Storage: Leftover egg rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
- Customization: Add your favorite burger toppings like diced tomatoes or cooked bacon to the filling for extra flavor.
