How to make Mexican Cheese Sticks:
- In a bowl, combine mashed pork and beans, tomato paste, chili powder, taco seasoning, and salt to make a smooth paste. Set aside.
- Place a piece of lumpia wrapper on a plate. Spread a teaspoonful of seasoned pork and beans mixture on the lower part of the wrapper.
- Place a stick of cheese horizontally on the mixture, roll the wrapper tightly over the cheese, fold in the sides, then continue rolling until cheese is tightly wrapped.
- Brush the edges with water to seal. Repeat with the remaining cheese and lumpia wrappers.
- Chill in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to achieve a crisp outer layer.
- When ready to cook, heat 2 inches deep of oil in the pan. Then drop cheese sticks in oil, leaving enough room for turning.
- Fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with or without your favorite dipping sauce.
