Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb ground beef
Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup diced onions
- ½ cup diced bell peppers
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Grab a large skillet and heat it to medium temperature for 3-4 minutes. Crumble 1 lb ground beef into the pan, breaking it into small pieces while cooking.
- Add ½ cup diced onions and ½ cup diced bell peppers to the beef. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables soften and become translucent.
- Sprinkle 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper over the meat mixture. Stir thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Pour 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese into the meat mixture, stirring quickly to help cheese melt slightly.
- Lay one 10-inch flour tortilla flat on your cutting board. Spread ¼ of the warm beef mixture across the center of the tortilla.
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one side to create a compact cylindrical shape.
- Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into 3-4 bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches long.
- Arrange the roll-ups on a serving plate. Let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and keep the rolls crisp.
- Warm tortillas slightly before filling to prevent cracking when rolling.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like cheddar and pepper jack for varied flavor profiles.
- Prepare filling ahead of time and refrigerate to enhance seasoning depth, making weeknight cooking faster.
