Notes
Feel free to customize the filling by adding vegetables like chopped spinach or bell peppers for added flavor and nutrition.
These rolls can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge before baking. Just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if they are chilled.
Great served with a dipping sauce like ranch or marinara.
