Why I’ll Love This Recipe

I adore how the garlic-infused butter adds a rich, aromatic finish that seeps into every layer. The combination of cheddar and mozzarella gives the perfect cheesy pull, and the savory, well-seasoned beef stands out yet balances beautifully with the buttery wrap. It’s comfort food elevated—portable, indulgent, and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

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

Directions

I preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
I heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks—about 7–8 minutes.
I stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, then remove the beef from heat and let it cool slightly.
I whisk the melted butter with minced garlic in a small bowl.
I lay the tortillas flat, evenly spread the beef mixture on each, then top with cheddar and mozzarella.
I tightly roll each tortilla, tucking in the sides to keep the filling in place, and position them seam-side down on the baking sheet. Then I brush generously with the garlic butter.
I bake for 12–15 minutes until the rollups are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
I let them cool a bit, slice into pinwheels if I like, garnish with pickles (if using), and serve warm.

Servings and timing

The recipe makes about 4 servings. Prep takes around 10–12 minutes, and baking time is about 12–15 minutes, so the total time is roughly 30 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes swap cheeses—Gruyère, Monterey Jack, or sharp cheddar give different flavors and textures. I’ve also added diced onions, chopped jalapeños, or bell peppers to the beef for extra flavor and a little crunch. If I want a lighter version, I substitute ground turkey or ground chicken.

Storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I use the oven at 350 °F to keep the rollups crispy, but the microwave works in a pinch, though the texture softens.

FAQs

How do I prevent the tortillas from getting soggy after baking?

I make sure to roll the tortillas tightly and brush with garlic butter just before baking. Letting them rest on a rack instead of a plate also helps keep the bottom crispy.

Can I make these ahead of time?

I can prep and assemble them a few hours in advance, keep them covered in the fridge, then bake them when I’m ready to serve. They’re great fresh out of the oven.

Are these good for meal prep?

Yes, I make a batch, store them in the fridge, and reheat a few at a time during the week. They hold up well and stay flavorful.

What tortillas work best?

I use large flour tortillas because they’re soft, flexible, and hold the filling well. I’ve also used low-carb versions, and they work just fine.

Can I freeze these rollups?

I freeze them after baking by wrapping them tightly and storing them in a freezer bag. When I’m ready, I reheat in the oven at 350 °F until hot throughout.

Conclusion

I find these garlic butter beef cheeseburger rollups deeply satisfying. They’re packed with flavor, easy to make, and perfect for a weeknight dinner or party snack. Every bite is buttery, cheesy, and comforting—just the way I like it.
