It’s a fact. Finger foods are just more fun to eat.
I’m convinced that if silverware isn’t necessary, the food automatically becomes even more enticing.
These Southwestern Baked Egg Rolls take all the traditional ingredients of a taco (which yes, I realize is also eaten with fingers and therefore still fun to eat) and rolls them up into these cute little egg rolls just begging to be dipped into salsa and eaten.
These would make a perfect appetizer for your next dinner party and are a fun way to ensure your partners kids will eat their beans.
