  • Author: Sarah
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Cheesy Beefy Roll-Ups are a delicious and easy-to-make savory snack or meal featuring seasoned ground beef and melted cheddar cheese wrapped in soft flour tortillas and baked until golden and crispy. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or party appetizer, these roll-ups combine smoky paprika and garlic flavors with gooey cheese for a comforting treat.


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

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat to avoid greasiness.
  2. Season the Meat: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the beef with rich flavor.
  3. Add the Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly combined with the beef.
  4. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds to make them soft and pliable for easy rolling.
  5. Fill the Tortillas: Spoon a generous amount of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla and spread it out evenly.
  6. Roll Up the Tortillas: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling and prevent it from spilling out.
  7. Bake the Roll-Ups: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the roll-ups seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • You can serve the roll-ups with salsa or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
  • Feel free to add diced onions or jalapeños to the beef mixture for a spicier kick.
  • If you want a crispier crust, brush the roll-ups lightly with olive oil before baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
