Doritos Pizza Rolls with Sausage

Using crunchy Doritos for the crust and a savory sausage filling, Doritos Pizza Rolls with Sausage are a tasty and entertaining take on classic pizza rolls. These rolls are the ideal party dish, snack, or appetizer!

Components:

Regarding the Pizza Rolls with Doritos:

1. Two cups of crushed Doritos, in your favorite flavor (such as Nacho Cheese)
2. One pound of Italian sausage without the casings
3. One cup of marinara sauce or pizza sauce
4. One and a half cups of mozzarella cheese, shredded
5. Grated Parmesan cheese, half a cup
6. Half a teaspoon of oregano, dried
7. Half a teaspoon of powdered garlic
8. 1/4 teaspoon of optionally hot red pepper flakes
9. One tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley or basil (for garnish)
10. One egg for the egg wash
11. One tablespoon of cooking olive oil

Optional Dipping Sauce:

• Half a cup of ranch dressing
• Add two tablespoons of spicy sauce (to taste).

Directions:

For the filling of sausage:

• To cook the sausage, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the Italian sausage for 7 to 10 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until it is browned. Drain any extra fat.
• Add the red pepper flakes (if using), oregano, and garlic powder to the sausage to season it. Take off the heat and let it cool a little.

Regarding the Pizza Rolls with Doritos:

• The Doritos can be crushed into fine crumbs by placing them in a big plastic bag or food processor, though you can leave some larger pieces for crunch. Put aside in a dish or small basin.
• Warm up the oven: Set the oven temperature to 375°F, or 190°C. Use silicone mats or parchment paper to line a baking sheet.

Put the pizza rolls together:

• On your work surface, place a little (3–4 inch) square of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
• Roll a little portion (about 1-2 teaspoons) of the cooked sausage mixture into a tiny log.
• Top the sausage with a pinch of mozzarella cheese and one or two teaspoons of pizza sauce.
• Tightly roll the Dorito crumbs around the filling, much like you would with a regular pizza roll.

Cover with Doritos crumbs: Coat each sausage pizza roll completely by rolling it in the crushed Doritos. Continue with the leftover filling.

To help brown the Doritos pizza rolls, beat the egg in a small bowl and brush each one with it.

Bake: After the baking sheet is ready, put the rolls on it and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. To guarantee even browning, you might wish to turn them over halfway through.

Regarding the optional dipping sauce:

• Mix the dipping sauce: Put the hot sauce and ranch dressing in a small bowl. Mix to mix, then reserve for dipping.

To assist:

• Serve the hot Doritos Pizza Rolls with Sausage with the optional dipping sauce on the side after they are baked and crispy. For a novel touch, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil.

Advice:

• Make it hot: For an added kick, you can add jalapeños to the filling or use spicy sausage.
• Various fillings To create a unique pizza roll filling, try adding pepperoni, cooked ground beef, or even vegetables.
• Prepare in advance: The rolls can be made in advance, stored in the refrigerator, and baked when you’re ready to serve.

A wonderful and entertaining fusion cuisine, these Doritos Pizza Rolls with Sausage are ideal for game days, parties, or as a satisfying snack!
