Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tbsp garlic butter (melted butter + garlic powder or minced garlic)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
Ingredient Swaps & Notes
- Beef options: Ground turkey or plant-based ground can work great too
- Cheese: Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or a cheese blend
- Add-ons: Want more burger flair? Add diced pickles, onions, or a squirt of ketchup/mustard inside
- Tortillas: Use burrito-sized for maximum stuffing potential
Instructions
1. Cook the Beef & Bacon
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Stir in crumbled bacon, season with salt and pepper to taste, and remove from heat.
2. Prep the Tortillas
Warm tortillas briefly in the microwave or a skillet to make them more pliable. Brush one side of each with garlic butter.
3. Fill & Roll
On the non-buttered side, add a generous scoop of the beef and bacon mixture and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Roll tightly like a burrito.
4. Grill the Rollups
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place each rollup butter-side down and grill until golden brown and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side. Flip carefully to brown both sides and melt the cheese.
5. Serve
Slice in half, dip in your favorite sauce (ranch, BBQ, or burger sauce), and enjoy while hot!
Tips for Success
- Use a sandwich press for even crisping
- Don’t overfill the tortillas to avoid tearing or leaking
- Want extra crunch? Add crushed chips or crispy onions inside
- Freeze extras after step 3 and cook straight from frozen when needed
