Best ways to enjoy it
These Doritos Pizza Rolls are irresistibly good on their own, but why stop there? For a fun twist, serve them alongside a classic marinara sauce or a zesty ranch dressing for dipping. Pair with a fresh salad or a platter of fresh veggies for a balanced meal. Host a game day, where everyone can grab these tasty bites while cheering for their favorite team!
Storage and reheating tips
If you find yourself with leftovers (which is rare, but could happen!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. For longer storage, you can freeze the rolls before baking; just wrap them well in plastic wrap and foil. When you’re ready, bake them straight from the freezer—just add an extra few minutes to their bake time.
Helpful cooking tips
- When sealing the dough, ensure you pinch it well to avoid any spills during baking.
- Pre-cook your sausage to enhance its flavor and ensure it’s fully cooked when you bite into your roll.
- If you want to spice things up, try adding some chopped jalapeños or buffalo sauce to the filling for an extra kick!
Creative twists
Feel free to get creative with this recipe! You can try different cheese varieties, like pepper jack for some heat or even feta for a Mediterranean flair. Swap out the sausage for pepperoni, or use chicken for a lighter version. Veggie lovers may add spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for a nutritious twist.
