Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Step 2: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
  3. Step 3: Remove the skillet from heat and add the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and mixes evenly with the beef.

  6. Step 6: Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to keep the filling secure.

  8. Step 8: Bake for 10-15 minutes until the roll-ups are golden brown and crispy.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a handful of chopped onions or bell peppers to the beef while cooking.
  • Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a different cheese flavor.
  • Serve with guacamole or sour cream alongside the salsa for more dipping options.
  • Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.

Storage

Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8 minutes or in the microwave until warmed through.
