Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 large flour tortillas
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Optional: sliced pickles for garnish

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 7–8 minutes.
3. Step 3: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat. Let the beef mixture cool slightly.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic. Stir well and set aside.
5. Step 5: Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the beef mixture over each tortilla, then sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
6. Step 6: Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to keep the filling secure. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with the garlic butter.
7. Step 7: Bake for 12–15 minutes until the roll-ups are golden and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
8. Step 8: Let cool slightly before slicing into pinwheels, if desired. Garnish with sliced pickles and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• For a spicy kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the beef mixture or garlic butter.
• You can swap cheddar and mozzarella for your favorite cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss.
• Try using whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a different flavor and extra nutrients.
• Adding finely chopped onions or bell peppers to the beef mixture adds extra texture and flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover rollups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8–10 minutes or until heated through to keep the tortilla crisp. Avoid microwaving if possible, to maintain texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these rollups ahead of time?

These rollups freeze well. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in the oven.

Beef Filling

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Cheese

• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Garlic Butter

• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Other

• 4 large flour tortillas
• Optional: sliced pickles for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking during baking.
2. Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, which takes about 7 to 8 minutes, ensuring even cooking.
3. Season the Beef: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper into the browned beef. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly, then remove the skillet from heat and allow the beef mixture to cool slightly for easier assembly.
4. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic. Stir thoroughly and set aside so the flavors meld while you assemble the rollups.
5. Assemble the Rollups: Lay the large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the seasoned beef mixture over each tortilla, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses to cover the beef.
6. Roll and Bake: Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling inside and prevent spillage. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with the prepared garlic butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the rollups turn golden and the cheeses inside are melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Let the rollups cool slightly before slicing them into pinwheel shapes if desired. Garnish with optional sliced pickles and serve warm for a delicious meal or snack.

Notes

• For extra crispiness, you can broil the rollups for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking—watch carefully to avoid burning.
• Feel free to substitute the cheddar and mozzarella with your favorite cheeses like pepper jack or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile.
• These rollups can be assembled a few hours ahead; refrigerate before baking and adjust baking time slightly if baking from cold.
• Use gluten-free tortillas if you need a gluten-free option.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
