Guy Fiery was the inspiration for our dining excursion of January 23rd and the “Mini Mex Rolls” from Psycho Suzi’s Motor Lodge was our Star winner for today. Her fine establishment can be found at: www.psychosuzis.com/ and the next time I’m in the greater Minneapolis area, I am so there… but until then I’ll just have to trust in this version to tide me through. Enjoy!

Whisk together the egg and water and set aside. Place wonton or egg roll wrappers on a flat surface and brush the outer edges with egg wash mixture. If you're using wonton wrappers, attach 2 together with egg wash mixture to make a longer rectangle. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of Mex mixture onto wrapper and spread into a log shape. Fold over ends of wrapper approximately 1/2-inch to cover ends of log shaped mixture. After ends are turned in, roll up and seal.
Deep-fry the Mini Mex Rolls in canola oil heated to 375 degrees F until they float. Remove and drain, and allow to cool for several minutes before serving. Serve with creamy salsa (made of 1 part salsa and 2 parts sour cream).
