The image shows several golden-brown rolled tortillas, each filled with a layer of melted cheddar cheese and a layer of cooked ground beef. The tortillas have a crispy, slightly toasted outer surface with some darker spots, and you can see small bits of green herbs scattered around and on the filling. The rolls are placed close to each other on a flat white plate, with a white marbled surface underneath. The layers inside the roll are clearly visible: a smooth, melted bright orange cheese layer next to a crumbly textured dark brown beef layer, all wrapped in a light tan tortilla skin.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 large flour tortillas

¼ cup butter, melted

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional: sliced pickles for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula—about 7–8 minutes.

Step 3: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat. Allow the beef mixture to cool slightly.

Step 4: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic. Stir well and set aside.

Step 5: Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the beef mixture over each tortilla, then top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

Step 6: Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with the garlic butter.

Step 7: Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the roll-ups are golden and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.

Step 8: Let cool slightly before slicing into pinwheels, if desired. Garnish with sliced pickles and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use ground chuck with 15–25% fat content for juicy beef without excess grease.

Swap cheddar and mozzarella for your favorite cheese blends like pepper jack or provolone for a different flavor.

For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or drizzle with hot sauce before rolling.

Try using whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier variation.

Brush the outside of the tortillas with the garlic butter before baking for an even more flavorful crust.

FAQs

Can I make these rollups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble them and refrigerate for a few hours before baking. Just be sure to cover them well to prevent the tortillas from drying out.

Can I freeze the rollups?

Yes, after baking and cooling completely, wrap the rollups tightly and freeze. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through, about 15–20 minutes.
