Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Butter Spread
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Rollup Filling
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven temperature to 190°C (375°F) to prepare for baking the rollups.
- Lay tortillas flat: Arrange the flour tortillas on a clean, flat surface so they are ready for assembly.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Generously brush each tortilla with the prepared garlic butter mixture ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor.
- Add Fillings: Evenly sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon over each tortilla, then top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Add chopped fresh chives if desired for a bright, fresh element.
- Roll Up Tortillas: Starting from one end, tightly roll each tortilla into a spiral, keeping the filling secured inside.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help them hold their shape during baking.
- Brush with Remaining Butter: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with any leftover garlic butter to promote a golden, crispy exterior.
- Bake: Bake the rollups for 12-15 minutes until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside has melted to a bubbly perfection.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the rollups cool for a few minutes to set and avoid burning your mouth.
- Slice and Serve: Slice each rollup into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
Notes
- To make ahead, assemble the rollups and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
- For extra crispiness, broil the rollups for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Swap out cheeses as desired; pepper jack or Monterey Jack can add a different flavor profile.
- These rollups are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to regain crispiness.
