Ingredients
For the Filling:
1pound ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or green onions
For the Assembly:
4 large tortillas
1/4 cup tomato paste or marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese for topping
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
Let the beef mixture cool slightly, then mix in 1 cup of shredded cheese and fresh parsley or green onions.
Step 2: Assemble the Rolls
Spread a thin layer of tomato paste or marinara sauce over each tortilla.
Distribute the beef mixture evenly across the tortillas, spreading it to cover the surface.
Roll each tortilla tightly, starting from one end, and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3: Bake the Rolls
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to help them crisp up.
Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the rolls.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 4: Serve
Let the rolls cool slightly before slicing them into smaller portions.
Garnish with additional parsley or green onions for a fresh touch.
