Irresistible Doritos Pizza Rolls

These pizza rolls happened when my kids wanted both pizza and tacos at once. All that cheesy beef, crunchy Doritos, and pillowy pizza dough together make an unbeatable snack. They’re our go-to for game nights because they get everyone grinning. That buzz in the house as you pull the tray from the oven? Nothing beats it.

Everyone’s New Favorite Snack

Every bite packs in taco and pizza flavors, which we adore. They’re speedy to throw together, so they’re perfect when things get busy or surprise guests pop by. Let people pick their own toppings to make dinner feel like a party every time.

You'll Need These

  • Doritos: Crunch ‘em up real good for that perfect bite.

Rolling Like a Pro

Keep your dough in the fridge until you need it—it’s way easier to handle chilled. Smash the Doritos small to make rolling simple. Use a sharp knife for perfect slices. Want to crisp ‘em up later? Pop leftovers in the air fryer and they’re good as new.

Switch It Up Your Way

We’ll swap in turkey sometimes or mix in corn and black beans for more bite. Load up with your favorite toppings and add a pile of salad to make it dinner. Throw out some sauces for dipping—watch how fast they vanish.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why keep the dough chilled?

When dough stays cold, it's not as sticky and holds its shape. If it gets warm, it goes floppy and hard to handle.

→ Why do I need to crush the Doritos well?

You want little Doritos pieces so you can easily spread them and roll up the dough. Big chunks rip the dough and make a mess.

→ Can I make these ahead?

They're at their best straight from the oven. You can do the beef mix early, but build and bake them just before eating.

→ What if my rolls lose their shape while cutting?

No biggie—just press them back into shape before baking. A sharp knife helps keep the slices tidy.

→ Can I use different flavors of Doritos?

Go wild—any Doritos flavor is good. Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, or Spicy Sweet Chili all work for something new.
