To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or air fry at 350°F for 4–5 minutes until crisp.

FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare and refrigerate them uncooked for up to 24 hours or freeze for longer storage.
Can I use store-bought pizza dough instead of wrappers?
You can, but it won’t be as crisp. Egg roll wrappers give the best texture.
What flavor of Doritos works best?
Nacho cheese is most popular, but Cool Ranch or Spicy Sweet Chili are great for variety.
How do I crush the Doritos?
Use a food processor or place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Can I fry these instead of baking?
Yes, deep fry in oil at 350°F until golden, about 3–4 minutes per roll.
Do I need to seal the rolls?
Yes, sealing with a flour-water paste prevents the filling from leaking during cooking.
What cheeses can I use?
Mozzarella is classic, but any meltable cheese like provolone or Monterey Jack works.
Are they spicy?
Not unless you use spicy Doritos or add hot ingredients. You control the heat level.
Can I use vegan ingredients?
Yes, use vegan cheese, meat substitutes, and plant-based wrappers for a vegan version.
Can I reheat these in the microwave?
You can, but they’ll lose crispiness. Use an oven or air fryer for best results.
