Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 cup cooked, crumbled sausage (or your choice of meat)
Cheese and Sauce:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup pizza sauce
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 bag Doritos (any flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) Italian seasoning
- Olive oil spray
- Optional: chopped peppers or onions
Instructions
- Pulverize Doritos into fine crumbs by sealing them in a resealable plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin or flat surface.
- Combine shredded mozzarella, crumbled sausage, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning in a mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Lay out tortilla flat and distribute filling centrally, leaving space around edges to prevent leakage during rolling.
- Carefully fold and roll tortilla into a compact cylinder, tucking in sides to seal filling completely.
- Brush exterior of each roll with olive oil, then generously coat with crushed Doritos crumbs for a crunchy exterior.
- Arrange rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake rolls for 12-15 minutes until exterior turns golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven and allow rolls to rest for 3-4 minutes to prevent burning and help filling set.
- Plate pizza rolls alongside warm marinara sauce for dipping, serving immediately while still hot and crisp.
Notes
- Crush Doritos with a rolling pin or bottom of a pan inside a sealed bag to prevent mess and ensure even-sized crumbs.
- Add crushed Doritos to the exterior of the roll for an extra crunchy, zesty coating that elevates the traditional pizza roll texture.
- Customize filling with vegetarian protein like plant-based sausage or diced mushrooms to make the recipe more diet-friendly and adaptable.
- Prevent soggy rolls by patting meat and veggies dry before mixing to remove excess moisture that could make the tortilla or dough soggy during baking.
