Ingredients
Scale
Beef Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Rollup and Butter
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Optional Garnish
- Pickles, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Cook Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook it, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through, which should take about 7-8 minutes.
- Season Beef: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the beef. Mix well and then remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly for easier handling.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic. Set this flavorful butter aside.
- Assemble Rollups: Lay the flour tortillas flat on the surface. Evenly distribute the cooked beef mixture among the tortillas, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the beef.
- Roll Tortillas: Tightly roll each tortilla, making sure the filling is securely wrapped inside to prevent it from spilling out.
- Butter and Arrange: Brush each rolled tortilla generously with the garlic butter mixture. Place the rollups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to hold their shape during baking.
- Bake: Bake the rollups in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the cheese inside has melted nicely.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Slice into pinwheels if desired, garnish with pickles, and serve warm for a delicious meal or snack.
Notes
- You can use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as a substitute for a healthier or dietary-specific option.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture.
- These rollups can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
- Leftover rollups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
