Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Rollups
- 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 melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to blend all the flavors, then set aside.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 190°C (375°F) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking of the rollups.
- Lay Out Tortillas: Arrange the six large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface for easy assembly.
- Brush Tortillas: Generously brush each tortilla with the prepared garlic butter mixture to infuse rich garlic flavor into the base layer.
- Add Fillings: Evenly distribute the crumbled cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese over the buttered tortillas. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh chives on top for added freshness and color.
- Roll Up Tortillas: Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a compact spiral, ensuring the fillings stay inside as you roll.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent unrolling and sticking during baking.
- Brush Tops with Butter: Brush the tops of each rollup with any remaining garlic butter to promote browning and add extra garlic flavor.
- Bake Rollups: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside is fully melted and bubbly.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the rollups cool for a few minutes to set and make them easier to slice.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut each rollup into bite-sized pieces, place them on a serving platter, and serve immediately while warm and delicious.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
- Ensure bacon is fully cooked and crispy before crumbling to avoid soggy rollups.
- Flour tortillas must be large enough to roll tightly without tearing.
- Fresh chives are optional but add a nice color and subtle onion flavor.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, ketchup, or a spicy mayo for extra flavor.
