Tips for Perfect Doritos Pizza Rolls:

• Crush Doritos Finely: Use a food processor or crush them in a bag to ensure even coating.
• Seal the Edges Well: Pinch or press the edges with a fork to prevent cheese from oozing out.
• Use a Wire Rack: For extra crispiness, bake the rolls on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.
• Make-Ahead Option: Assemble and freeze before baking; bake from frozen, adding 3-5 extra minutes.
