These crunchy pizza taquito bites are simple to make and fun for the whole family.

After a stressful day of endless errands and countless loads of laundry, dinner is the last thing on my mind. Yet I have a family to feed that is ravenous and starving.

What is a mom or dad to do?

This recipe for pepperoni pizza taquitos with ranch dipping sauce swooped in to the rescue. I’m a big proponent of ranch with my pizza, so I couldn’t disappoint by leaving these taquitos without the same side. The best thing is that you can save these in a Ziploc bag for lunch the following day.
