Ingredients
Scale
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
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Garlic Butter
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Other
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional: sliced pickles for garnish
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
