Can I bake these instead of frying them?

Yes! Bake at 400°F on a lined baking sheet for about 15 minutes, flipping once. They won’t be quite as crispy as skillet-fried, but they’ll still have that great golden bite.

What can I use instead of ground beef?

Shredded rotisserie chicken, ground turkey, or even seasoned black beans work great. It’s all about layering bold flavor inside the roll.

How do I keep the rolls from falling apart while cooking?

Fold the sides in first, then roll tightly. Press the seam side down in the skillet until it sets. If you're baking or air frying, use a toothpick to hold them in place.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes—assemble and refrigerate up to a day in advance. For best results, don’t fry or bake until ready to serve. That way, the shells stay crisp and fresh.

What dipping sauces go well with these?

Salsa, guacamole, chipotle ranch, or even warm queso dip. You can pair them with other fun eats like Irresistible White Chocolate Caramel Chunk Cookies or bring them to a party alongside a bold Sunset Beach Bucket Blast .
