These spring rolls are such a comfort food for me, and I love making extras to keep in the freezer for a quick meal or snack. They’re inspired by a recipe from a friend I met in college who was originally from Vietnam.

I have experimented with different kinds of vegetables in differing amounts, and honestly, have never tasted one that I didn’t like.

3 lb ground chicken (you can use some ground pork for part of this, but I usually do 100% chicken)
1 lb mushrooms, sliced
4 green onions, white and green parts sliced 1/4” wide (save a small amount of the green tops to garnish the dipping sauce)
1 red onion, diced small
1 bag gluten free kale salad mix (just the veggie part)
2 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
StarAniseFoods Brown rice paper large size (about 18)

1. Add all ingredients except rice paper to large mixing bowl and mix well
2. Add water to a separate dish or deep plate large enough to hold the rice paper
3. Dip the rice paper in the water until it’s slightly hydrated - DO NOT OVERHYDRATE
4. Place a portion of the meat and vegetable mixture on the edge of the wet rice paper, fold in the sides, and roll to the other end, like a burrito
5. Place rolls on parchment paper and spray the tops with cooking spray (helps with crispiness)
6. Cook in air fryer on 350 until crispy and golden brown, and spring roll is 180 degrees internally (about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through)
7. Serve hot with dipping sauce

Dipping Sauce
3T San-J gluten free tamari
1t gluten free rice vinegar
1 t sesame oil
2T water
1.5 t gluten free chili oil (to taste, depending on preferred spiciness)
Grated ginger, to taste
Green onion stems

1. Add all ingredients to bowl and stir
2. Set aside until spring rolls are cooked

If you’ve never had Birria before, let me be the first to tell you, it’s amazing. The meat is so tender and flavorful, and putting it into a spring roll wrapper and air frying it makes it the perfect crispy handheld food.

My *general* recipe - I measure with the heart ❤️❤️
Birria Ingredients
-One packet of GF birria seasoning per roast (the packet says 1 packet per pound of meat, but I usually do 3-4 lb meat per packet)
-Can of crushed tomatoes
-One onion, chopped
-GF Chicken or beef broth - a few cups

Cook in instant pot on high pressure for 2-4 hours depending on roast size

To prepare spring rolls
-hydrate rice paper sheets (don’t over-hydrate or they get sticky and will break more easily once wrapped)
-place a small amount of shredded Birria meat on the paper - try not to have too much liquid (that will prevent the roll from crisping)
-add chopped cilantro and green onions, to taste
-if you want cheese, you can roll in some shreds, but we didn’t and they were still delicious
-air fry until crispy and hot all the way through
-enjoy by dipping in the cooking liquid/jus

Disney World with celiac and 3 kids doesn’t have to mean complicated or dropping big money on every meal.

Eating breakfasts at the vacation rental and packing lunches, snacks, and a cooler each day helped us save money, avoid food stress, and spend more time enjoying the parks. We splurged on a fun princess character dinner that we all enjoyed. These are the simple strategies that worked best for our family.

What’s your best Disney tip? 👇
