Ingredients
Scale
Proteins and Cheeses:
- ½ cup mini pepperoni (or chopped pepperoni)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Main Filling Ingredients:
- 12 egg roll wrappers (or wonton wrappers for smaller rolls)
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups Nacho Cheese Doritos (or any flavor), crushed into fine crumbs
Seasonings and Additional Components:
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- OR cooking spray (for baking)
Instructions
- Position an egg roll wrapper diagonally on a clean, flat workspace, creating a diamond orientation with the point directed towards you.
- Carefully apply pizza sauce directly to the central area of the wrapper, ensuring even distribution without oversaturating.
- Generously layer shredded mozzarella cheese across the sauce, creating a consistent base for additional toppings.
- Strategically place miniature pepperoni slices atop the cheese, distributing them evenly for balanced flavor.
- Enhance the filling with a delicate sprinkle of Italian seasoning, complemented by a light dusting of garlic powder and a subtle hint of red pepper flakes for added complexity.
- Initiate the wrapping process by lifting the bottom corner, folding it securely over the prepared filling.
- Carefully fold the side corners inward, creating a snug envelope that contains the ingredients.
- Gently roll the wrapper upward, maintaining tension to ensure a compact structure.
- Seal the final edge by lightly moistening the wrapper’s tip with water, pressing gently to create a secure closure.
- Repeat the process for remaining egg roll wrappers to create multiple pizza rolls.
Notes
- Crush Doritos finely for an extra crispy coating that adds incredible texture and zesty flavor to the pizza rolls.
- Experiment with different cheese types like cheddar or pepper jack for unique taste variations that keep the recipe exciting.
- Prepare a quick dipping sauce using marinara or ranch to complement the spicy and cheesy roll’s flavor profile.
- Consider baking instead of frying for a lighter version that reduces oil content and creates a healthier alternative without sacrificing taste.
