Instructions
1. Prepare the filling:
In a bowl, mix the shredded cheese, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt.
2. Fill the wrappers:
Lay one wrapper flat. Place 2–3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture near one edge. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly. Seal the edge with a little water.
3. Repeat:
Prepare all remaining cheese rolls the same way.
4. Heat the oil:
Warm oil in a pan over medium heat until it reaches frying temperature (approximately 350°F / 175°C).
5. Fry the rolls:
Fry the rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crisp—about 2–4 minutes.
6. Drain:
Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
7. Serve:
Enjoy hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips
Use low-moisture cheese to prevent the rolls from leaking during frying.
Roll the wrappers tightly to avoid air pockets, which can cause bursting.
Do not overcrowd the pan—fry in small batches for even browning.
If baking instead of frying, brush the rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.

Variations
Spicy Cheese Rolls: Add chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes.

Cheese & Veggie Rolls: Add finely chopped sautéed onions, peppers, or spinach.
Sweet Cheese Rolls: Use sweetened cream cheese and dust with powdered sugar after frying.

Corrections
If something goes wrong:
Rolls burst while frying: The filling may be too moist or the wrappers too loose. Dry the cheese mixture more or roll tighter next time.
Rolls turn soggy: Oil may not be hot enough. Increase heat so they crisp quickly.
Cheese leaks out: Seal the edges more firmly and avoid overfilling.
