Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup salsa
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Wraps & Toppings
- 6 medium flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter for brushing
- chopped parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cook the Beef and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the diced onion for about 6–8 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through. This step builds the savory base for the filling.
- Season and Simmer: Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning, sour cream, and salsa. Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes until everything is well combined and slightly thickened, enhancing the flavor and moisture.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly sprinkle a blend of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over each tortilla. Add a generous scoop of the beef mixture on top, then roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter to promote browning and add a rich flavor during baking.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake the roll-ups in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until they turn golden and crisp, ensuring the cheese melts and the tortillas become nicely toasted.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired, and serve hot. Accompany with extra salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for added flavor and dipping options.
Notes
- Substitute ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter or vegetarian alternative.
- Add jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef mixture for an extra spicy kick.
