Effortless Taco Pizza Rolls (Thanks to Canned Crust!)

Semi homemade recipes are kind of my thing (I love you Sandra Lee)! I am not only all about recipe shortcuts, but I love making easy recipes that bring a fun surprise to the table! 

After the success of our burger tacos and Doritos Casserole, I was totally inspired to create another exciting twist on a recipe, and these taco pizza rolls quickly became a family favorite!

How to Form Taco Pizza Rolls

Just pretend you work at Chipotle for a minute and roll the dough long ways, making sure it’s really tight. Then, make one-inch cuts down the roll. Place the cut rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Once your taco pizza rolls are finished cooking and cooled for 5 minutes, you can top them with sour cream, salsa, green onions, or chives—or anything else you’d like!
