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 excess fat to avoid greasiness.
- 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.
- Add the Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly combined with the beef.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds to make them soft and pliable for easy rolling.
- Fill the Tortillas: Spoon a generous amount of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla and spread it out evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
