- Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly and seal the edge with a bit of water.
Step 2: Coat in Doritos
- Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs + milk in another, and crushed Doritos in a third bowl.
- Dip each pizza roll into flour, then egg wash, then coat evenly in Doritos crumbs.
