Take each wrapper individually & place on a plate in a diamond shape with corner pointing towards you and spoon fill with mixture filling in the middle. Wrap in lumpia style, bottom corner upwards over the filling, rolling tightly, then tucking the side corners inside and continuing the roll until complete.
