Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
Cook Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook it for about 7-8 minutes until nicely browned and fully cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
Season the Beef: Remove the skillet from heat and mix in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper thoroughly, ensuring even seasoning throughout.
Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, melt the butter and combine it with minced fresh garlic, mixing well to infuse the flavors.
Assemble Rollups: Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly over each flour tortilla. Layer the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly on top of the beef.
Roll Tortillas: Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling. Place each roll-up seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them intact during baking.
Brush Garlic Butter: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the tops of each roll-up, ensuring a flavorful and golden crust after baking.
Bake: Bake the roll-ups in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted.
Serve: Allow the rollups to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Use 15-25% fat ground beef for juicy, flavorful results.
Substitute cheeses based on preference; Gruyère adds nutty depth, Monterey Jack offers mild meltiness.
Whole wheat or corn tortillas create different flavor profiles and may affect texture slightly.
Adjust seasoning quantities to your taste, especially salt and pepper.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder to the beef mixture.
Can be reheated in the oven for a crispy exterior or microwave for convenience.
Butter can be replaced by margarine or olive oil if preferred.
