Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 package pizza dough
- 1 cup taco meat
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a medium skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess fat from the meat.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked meat and stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the seasonings blend.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangular shape, approximately 12x16 inches.
- Spread the salsa evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Distribute the seasoned taco meat uniformly over the salsa layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the meat, covering the entire surface.
- Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long side, creating a log-shaped roll.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 8 equal-sized pieces.
- Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each roll.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Optional: Garnish with additional salsa, sour cream, or chopped cilantro before serving.
Tips
- Pro tips to make your Taco Pizza Rolls absolutely perfect: • Use room temperature pizza dough for easier rolling and better texture • Make sure to drain excess fat from the meat to prevent soggy rolls • Don't overfill the dough – this can make rolling difficult and cause filling to leak • Use a sharp serrated knife for clean, even cuts when slicing the roll • For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a dash of hot sauce before serving • Let the rolls cool slightly to allow the filling to set and prevent burning your mouth • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture and melted cheese experience
