These frico pickle rollups will be your new favorite snack. Crushed Cheetos, crispy melted cheese, and dill spears come together for a craveable, crunchy, salty flavor bomb. Sharp Cheddar and vinegary pickles are a great pairing, though you can use your choice of cheese. Customize this fun party appetizer with different chips as well, and serve with ranch to dip.

  6. Repeat with remaining crushed Cheetos, cheese slices, and pickle spears, wiping out the skillet and spraying with cooking spray between batches.

Editor's Note:

The cheese will initially look like it is just melting and losing shape, but once the fats have been released from the cheese slice, it begins to crisp and firm up. Different types of cheese will work but we found that American cheese didn't melt as well.
