Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 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 Filling
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Tortillas and Garlic Butter
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Optional Garnish
- Sliced pickles for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully browned, about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Season the Beef: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and then remove the skillet from heat. Let the beef mixture cool slightly to prevent soggy tortillas when assembling.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic and stir well to infuse the butter with garlic flavor. Set aside.
- Assemble the Rollups: Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the cooked beef mixture over each tortilla and top each with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Roll and Bake: Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling and prevent leakage. Place each rollup seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with the garlic butter mixture to ensure they bake with a flavorful, buttery crust.
- Baking: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the rollups are golden brown on the outside and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the rollups cool slightly before slicing into pinwheels if desired. Garnish with sliced pickles and serve warm for a satisfying meal or appetizer.
Notes
- Make sure to let the beef mixture cool slightly before assembling to keep tortillas from becoming soggy.
- Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor in the garlic butter brush.
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef seasoning.
- These rollups can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
