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
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 large flour tortillas
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
Optional: sliced pickles for garnish

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic to make the garlic butter.
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the beef mixture across each tortilla.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the beef.
Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops generously with the garlic butter mixture.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing into rollups. Garnish with sliced pickles if desired and serve warm.

Servings and timing

Variations

Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
Add cooked bacon bits to the beef mixture for a smoky flavor.
Mix diced jalapeños into the filling for a spicy kick.
Use pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella for extra heat.
Add finely diced onions or pickles inside the rollups for more texture and flavor.
Brush the tops with garlic butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a burger-style finish.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftover rollups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, place them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through and crisp again. You can also reheat them in an air fryer for a few minutes to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it may make the tortillas soft.

For longer storage, freeze baked rollups individually wrapped for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven until warmed through.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the rollups up to 24 hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator before baking.

Can I freeze them before baking?

Yes, assemble the rollups and freeze them unbaked. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

What type of tortillas work best?

Large flour tortillas work best because they roll easily and hold the filling securely.

Can I use only one type of cheese?

Absolutely. Cheddar alone works well, or you can use any good melting cheese you prefer.

How do I prevent the rollups from unrolling?

Place them seam-side down on the baking sheet and avoid overfilling.

Can I add vegetables to the filling?

Yes, finely chopped onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms can be cooked with the beef.

Are these good for parties?

Yes, slice them into smaller pinwheels and serve as bite-sized appetizers.

How do I make them crispier?

Bake them on the middle rack and make sure to brush enough garlic butter on top.

Can I cook them in an air fryer?

Yes, cook at 375°F for about 8–10 minutes, checking for a golden exterior.

What can I serve with these rollups?

They pair well with fries, a simple green salad, coleslaw, or dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch.
