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
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Rollup Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas
Garlic Butter
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Optional Garnish
- Sliced pickles
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.
- Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula for about 7–8 minutes until fully cooked.
- Season the Beef: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and remove from heat. Let the beef mixture cool slightly to make assembly easier.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic. Stir well to infuse the butter with garlic flavor and set aside.
- Assemble the Rollups: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the cooled beef mixture over each tortilla, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the meat.
- Roll and Bake: Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling. Place each rollup seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with the garlic butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the rollups turn golden and the cheese inside has melted and bubbled.
- Serve: Allow the rollups to cool slightly after baking. Slice into pinwheels if desired, garnish with sliced pickles, and serve warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Use medium or large flour tortillas to fit all the filling and roll easily.
- Letting the beef mixture cool before assembling prevents the tortillas from becoming soggy and harder to roll.
- You can substitute cheeses with your preferred melty varieties like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a spicy kick.
- Brush the edges of the tortillas with garlic butter to help them seal and add extra flavor.
- These rollups can be made ahead, wrapped tightly, and baked just before serving.
- Optional sliced pickles add that classic cheeseburger tang but can be omitted or substituted with jalapeños or fresh veggies.
