Description
Cheesy Beefy Roll-Ups combine savory ground beef seasoned with garlic, onion, and paprika, melted cheddar cheese, and warm flour tortillas baked to a golden crisp. These roll-ups make a deliciously comforting meal perfect for lunch or dinner, served optionally with salsa for an extra kick.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Roll-Ups:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup salsa (optional for serving)
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat to reduce greasiness.
- Season the Meat: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to thoroughly combine the flavors.
- Add the Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and immediately add the shredded cheddar cheese to the beef mixture. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and well incorporated with the meat.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds to make them pliable and easier to roll.
- Fill the Tortillas: Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy beef mixture onto the center of each warmed tortilla, spreading it out evenly but leaving edges free for rolling.
- Roll Up the Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you roll to secure the filling and prevent spillage during baking.
- Bake the Roll-Ups: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tortillas are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Notes
- Drain the excess fat after browning the beef to keep the roll-ups from becoming greasy.
- Warming the tortillas slightly prevents cracking when rolling.
- Baking seam-side down ensures the roll-ups stay closed and do not unravel.
- Salsa is optional but adds a nice tangy flavor that complements the cheesy beef filling.
- For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder along with the other seasonings.
