👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions (With Pro Tips!)
1️⃣ Cook the Beef Filling
- Brown the beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess grease.
- Add onions, spices, and Worcestershire sauce. Sauté until onions soften (~3 mins).
- Remove from heat and stir in cheese until fully melted.
📌 Pro Tip:
- Pat the beef dry after draining to prevent soggy tortillas.
2️⃣ Assemble the Rollups
- Lay out tortillas and spoon ⅙ of the filling onto each.
- Fold sides inward, then roll tightly (like a burrito).
📌 Pro Tip:
- Warm tortillas for 10 sec in microwave to prevent cracking.
3️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter
- Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley.
4️⃣ Toast to Crispy Perfection
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Brush rollups with garlic butter and cook seam-side down first (2–3 mins per side) until golden and crispy.
📌 Pro Tip:
- Press lightly with a spatula for even browning.
5️⃣ Slice & Serve!
- Cut in half diagonally and serve with dips like:
- Burger sauce (mayo + ketchup + relish)
- Ranch or chipotle mayo
- Marinara for a “cheeseburger pizza” twist
