Fun and Easy Doritos Pizza Rolls
I created these pizza rolls when my kids were craving both tacos and pizza one night. The combination of seasoned beef melty cheese and crunchy Doritos wrapped in soft pizza dough creates pure snacking magic. Now they're our most requested game day treat bringing smiles every time we make them. That moment when you pull them from the oven and everyone comes running to the kitchen is pure joy.
A Snack That Makes Everyone Happy
These rolls combine everything we love about tacos and pizza into perfect little bites. I love how quickly they come together making them ideal for busy evenings or when friends drop by unexpectedly. Setting out different toppings lets everyone customize their rolls exactly how they like them making dinner fun and interactive.

My Best Rolling Tips
Keep that dough cold until you're ready it makes everything easier. Make sure your Doritos are crushed pretty fine for easy rolling. A sharp knife gives you the cleanest cuts. These reheat beautifully in the air fryer when you want that crispy texture back.
Making Them Your Own
Sometimes we'll use ground turkey for a lighter version or add black beans and corn for extra texture. They're wonderful with all sorts of toppings and a fresh salad on the side makes it a complete meal. Set out plenty of dipping options and watch them disappear.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Why keep the dough chilled?
Cold dough is easier to work with and holds its shape better. Room temperature dough becomes soft and harder to roll and slice.
- → Why do I need to crush the Doritos well?
Smaller Doritos pieces make rolling and cutting easier. Large pieces can tear the dough and make the rolls fall apart.
- → Can I make these ahead?
These are best served fresh and warm. You can prepare the meat mixture ahead, but assemble and bake just before serving.
- → What if my rolls lose their shape while cutting?
Simply reshape them by hand before placing on the baking sheet. Use a sharp knife for cleaner cuts.
- → Can I use different flavors of Doritos?
Yes, any Doritos flavor works well. Try Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, or Spicy Sweet Chili for different flavor variations.
