One night my kids had a craving for both pizza and tacos. I whipped up these cheesy, beefy rolls wrapped in pizza dough and loaded with crushed Doritos for crunch. Every bite is a total crowd-pleaser and they’ve quickly become our must-have for every big game. Nothing beats that buzz in the kitchen when they come out of the oven and everyone dives in together.
A Crowd-Pleaser for Any Gathering
Mini taco-pizza bites are always the first thing to vanish when friends are over. I love that you can toss them together fast, so even on crazy nights or when someone drops by you’ve got it handled. Setting out toppings makes it more fun since everyone can build their own dream snack.
Gather These Ingredients
- Cheese: Mexican blend melts best.
- Doritos: Crushed for all that crispy crunch.
- Ground Beef: Cooked up hot and spiced.
- Pizza Dough: Grab it fresh for best texture.
- Taco Seasoning: Don’t skip this for max flavor.
- Toppings: Anything you’d pile on a taco goes great.
Roll With Me
- Bake
- Let those rolls crisp up in the oven so the cheese gets gooey.
- Roll and Slice
- Wrap your fillings up tight then cut into thick little spirals.
- Layer the Fillings
- Pile everything up evenly so each bite’s loaded.
- Roll Out Dough
- Stretch your dough on a floured counter so it stays smooth.
- Preheat and Prepare
- Turn on the oven and cook up that flavorful beef filling.
Rolling Like a Pro
Keep that dough in the fridge till right before you need it. It rolls out way easier. Smash those chips up fine or they'll tear your dough. Use your sharpest knife for nice clean slices. If you want leftover rolls crispy again just pop them in the air fryer for a few minutes.
Switch It Up
Sometimes we swap in ground turkey for beef, or stir in corn and black beans for some extra bite. These are awesome topped however you like and some salad on the side makes it feel like a full meal. Don’t forget the dips—everyone fights over the last one.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Why should the dough stay cold?
Cool dough holds its shape better and is simpler to handle. Letting it get warm makes it too soft and tricky to roll neatly.
- → How important is crushing the Doritos finely?
Small bits of Doritos make rolling and slicing smoother. Bigger chunks might rip the dough or cause the rolls to fall apart.
- → Can I prepare this earlier?
These taste best fresh and warm. The meat mixture can be prepped early, but assemble and bake just before you plan to eat.
- → What if my rolls lose their shape while slicing?
You can gently fix them by hand before putting them on the pan. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
- → Can I use other Doritos flavors?
Absolutely! Any flavor works great. Try Cool Ranch, Nacho Cheese, or Spicy Sweet Chili for a new twist.
