🌟 Pro Tips
-
Thin steak slices: Freeze steak 30 minutes before slicing for easier thin cuts.
-
Egg roll shells: Work quickly—wrappers dry out fast.
-
Cheese: Use shredded cheese for faster melting; provolone is classic for Philly flavor.
-
Crispier taco: Fry shells lightly first, then bake for extra crunch.
🔄 Variations
-
Spicy twist: Add sautéed jalapeños or hot sauce to filling
-
Chicken cheesesteak: Swap beef for thin-sliced chicken breast
-
Low-carb: Use lettuce wraps instead of egg roll shells
🍽️ Serving Ideas

I can also create a “30-minute quick skillet version” where the egg roll taco shells are made directly in a frying pan—no mold needed.
