How to Make Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). This ensures a perfect bake, helping the rollups turn crispy and golden.
Mix the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Use this fragrant blend to elevate the flavors of your rollups.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface and generously brush each tortilla with your garlic butter mixture. This creates a luscious base for all that cheesy goodness.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, mozzarella cheese, and chopped chives evenly over the tortillas. Make sure to cover every inch to achieve that ooey-gooey texture.
Roll each tortilla tightly into a spiral, placing the seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This keeps everything snug and contained.
Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with the remaining garlic butter. Bake them for about 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Cool the rollups slightly before slicing them into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm and watch your family and friends dive in!
