Ingredients You’ll Need
Grab these simple pantry staples from your kitchen. You probably have most of them already!
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Step-by-Step Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no pink remains, breaking it into fine crumbles.
- Drain the rendered fat from the skillet and stir in the salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Lay a tortilla flat and distribute approximately 2.5 ounces of seasoned beef and 0.25 cups of shredded cheese across the center.
- Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a small bowl.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top and sides of each rollup.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tortillas achieve a golden brown color and crispy texture.
- Allow to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
Serve these hot with your favorite burger toppings. I love a side of tangy yellow mustard or ketchup. They are amazing for a cozy night in.
Pair them with crispy fries or a fresh salad. The garlic butter aroma will fill your whole house.
Keep It Fresh
Store leftovers in an airtight container. They stay fresh in the fridge for three days. Reheat them in the air fryer for maximum crunch. Avoid the microwave if you want them perfectly crispy.
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Drain the beef fat well to avoid soggy tortillas.
- Roll the tortillas very tightly so they stay together.
- Use sharp cheddar for the best flavor punch.
- Fresh garlic is always better than the jarred stuff.
- Place them seam-side down to prevent unrolling in the oven.
- Don’t skip the resting time to let the cheese set.
- Line your pan with parchment for zero-mess cleanup.
Ways to Switch It Up
- Add cooked bacon bits for a bacon cheeseburger vibe.
- Swap cheddar for pepper jack if you want heat.
- Use ground turkey for a lighter weeknight meal.
- Stir in diced pickles for an extra tang.
Common Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can prep the beef in advance. Assemble and bake right before eating for maximum crunch.
What if I don’t have flour tortillas?
Flour tortillas roll the best. Corn tortillas might crack during the rolling process.
