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 black pepper, to taste
Cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Garlic Butter
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Other
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Sliced pickles, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat 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 and ensure even baking.
- Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if needed.
- Season the Beef: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper into the cooked beef until well combined. Remove the skillet from heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly to avoid melting the tortillas during assembly.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic, mixing thoroughly. Set aside this flavorful mixture to brush on the rollups later.
- Assemble the Rollups: Lay out the four tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the cooled beef mixture across each tortilla, then sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the beef, dividing the cheese evenly.
- Roll and Bake: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one side, tucking in the edges to enclose the filling securely. Place the rollups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each rollup generously with the garlic butter mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the rollups from the oven and let them cool slightly. Optionally, slice into pinwheels and garnish with sliced pickles for a classic cheeseburger flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the beef seasoning.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
- Make sure the beef mixture is cool before spreading it on tortillas to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- You can prepare the rollups ahead of time and refrigerate them before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer for best results.
