My Dh is Peurto Rican and the recipe is very versatile, able to add to your taste, we are able to buy the Goya discs and added Sazon. Tasty fried little treats :) I only gave four stars for the fact that his recipe is slightly different and we prefer it. But Mmmm, try it!

These were pretty tasty. I put a packet of Sazon seasoning in as another reviewer suggested. I also used wonton wrappers. I couldn't find the Goya discs but next time I will go to a spanish market. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I had never "stuffed" anything before so I was a little inept at first but in no time I was flying! LOL. I had a little dish of water on my work surface and I would just dip my finger in and use that to seal the wontons. Just don't worry about how they look, once fried they'll look great. Warning though, they fry up fast! Don't walk off and leave them. This makes a lot of filling. I ended up using well less than half for just my husband and I. I will freeze the rest or maybe use it for something else tomorrow.

This recipe, if followed exactly, has too strong of a cilantro taste. Over powering even. So I altered the recipe slightly and only added 1/4 cup of cilantro and added 1/3 cup celery to it. It turned out great then.

This recipe was so great! My Dh and son loved it so much. I did not think this was a time consuming recipe. It was easy to make and my 3 year old even helped me stuff the egg rolls, he thought that was great. We served them with sour cream guacamole and some mexican rice and they were alomost all eaten up!Next time i will add a little more garlic!

My kids and husband would not touch this. Its a lot of work and not worth it. The flavor of the meat was ok but like i said a lot of work for something so casual. :(

It was time cumsuming but they were GREAT!! But being PuertoRican myself almost every dish HAS TO HAVE SA-SON! I added just one package of Sa-son with the onions and bell pepper to lock in the flavor. After I drained the meat I added Basil, Garlic Poweder, and Chili Poweder to taste! It was WONDERFUL!! This one is a keeper!

These turned out very well. All of my boys, 18 months, 3 years, and 5 years, tried them and loved them. My neighbor smelled me cooking and stopped by to try what smelled so good! They both loved them too. We did not care for them as much plain, but dipped in sour cream and salsa, they were divine. We don't fry often, but next time, we will surely do this again. We used wonton squares instead of egg rolls. We have fun filling the squares with different cheese and frying them also. Those would compliment this recipe well.
