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, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned, 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 baking sheet. Brush generously with the garlic butter.
- Step 7: Bake for 12–15 minutes, until rollups 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 for juicy, flavorful beef without excess grease.
- Try blending in Gruyère or Monterey Jack cheese for a different melty texture and depth of flavor.
- For more garlic punch, add an extra clove or use roasted garlic in the butter mixture.
- Serve with a side of dipping sauce like ketchup, mustard, or a creamy ranch to complement the rollups.
Storage
Store leftover rollups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes until warmed through and crispy. Avoid microwaving to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make these rollups ahead of time?
Yes, assemble the rollups and store them in the refrigerator covered for up to 24 hours before baking. Brush with garlic butter and bake just before serving.
Can I use whole wheat or corn tortillas instead?
Large whole wheat flour tortillas work well and add a nutty flavor. Corn tortillas may be too fragile for rolling and could crack during baking.

Ingredients
Beef Filling
- 1 lb ground chuck beef (15-25% fat)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Garlic Butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Other
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional: sliced pickles for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 7–8 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until browned and fully cooked.
- Season the Beef: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and remove the skillet from heat. Allow the beef mixture to cool slightly to prevent melting the cheese prematurely.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with minced fresh garlic. Stir well to infuse the butter with garlic flavor and set aside.
- Assemble the Rollups: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the seasoned beef mixture over each tortilla, then top with a blend of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses for creaminess and melt.
- Roll and Bake: Tightly roll each tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture to enhance flavor and promote a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden brown on top and the cheese inside has melted and is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice into pinwheels if desired. Garnish with optional sliced pickles and serve warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Use ground chuck beef with 15-25% fat for juiciness without excess grease.
- Fresh garlic is key for robust flavor; avoid pre-peeled or processed garlic.
- Unsalted butter allows better control of seasoning and a golden crust.
- Choose cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella for excellent meltability and flavor balance.
- Rolling the tortillas tightly and tucking in sides prevents filling from leaking during baking.
- Optional pickles add a tangy contrast and enhance the cheeseburger flavor profile.
