Homemade Taco Pizza Rolls

I found this yummy looking recipe on the old del paso website and knew right away that I had to try making these cute little Taco Pizza Rolls!  Gord and the Boys would all love them AND they would make a great appetizer idea for potlucks and Christmas gatherings this year! 

But the recipe called for store bought Taco seasoning and pillsbury pizza dough.... Ummm NO!  I think I'll use my own Homemade Taco Seasoning and Homemade Pizza dough too! 

Much healthier that way.  

I know what your thinking.... Pizza dough, I don't have time to make my own pizza dough!  But I ask you.... do you have a pillsbury pizza dough in your fridge right now?  If the answer is no then you are better off making your own than driving to the store to get one.  PLUS it will be way healthier for you and you will know what's in it!

You will need a bread machine for my recipe, but if you don't have a bread machine you may need to do a little kneading and let it rise in a warm spot.  You can Find my Bread Machine Pizza dough Recipe here!
