Ingredients
Scale
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.
