Ingredients
Scale
Beef Filling
- 1 lb Ground Beef (15-25% fat for juiciness and flavor)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil (for sautéing)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce (or soy sauce substitute)
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika (or regular paprika)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or Gruyère/Monterey Jack)
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (or preferred melting cheese)
Rollups & Butter
- 4 large Flour Tortillas (or whole wheat/corn tortillas)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced fresh)
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 skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through.
- Season Beef: Remove the skillet from heat. Add Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a separate bowl, mix melted unsalted butter with freshly minced garlic, creating a flavorful garlic butter mixture for brushing.
- Assemble Rollups: Lay out the tortillas flat. Evenly spread the seasoned beef mixture across each tortilla. Then, sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the beef layer.
- Roll Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to enclose the filling. Place the rollups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to maintain their shape.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Generously brush the garlic butter over the outside of each rollup to infuse flavor and help with browning.
- Bake: Bake the rollups in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the cheese inside has melted beautifully.
- Serve: Allow rollups to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy this warm, cheesy, and flavorful comfort food treat!
Notes
- Use tortillas that are flexible and large enough to hold the filling without tearing.
- Feel free to customize the cheese mix based on your preference for sharper or milder flavors.
- Substitute unsalted butter with regular if desired but adjust salt accordingly.
- Leftover rollups can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
- Adding fresh herbs like parsley or chives inside can add a fresh note.
