Finely dice 1/2 cup dill pickles and 1/4 cup red onion. Dice 1/2 medium tomato and shred 1 cup iceberg lettuce for garnish later. This initial prep ensures your Easy Beef Cheeseburger Rollups: Quick Dinner & Appetizer assembly is smooth and efficient.
02 -
In a large skillet, brown 1 lb 85/15 lean ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon. Once cooked through, drain any excess fat. Season the beef with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, salt, and black pepper to taste.
03 -
Return the seasoned beef to the skillet. Stir in the finely diced 1/2 cup dill pickles, 1/4 cup red onion, 3 tbsp ketchup, and 2 tbsp yellow mustard. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully for your Easy Beef Cheeseburger Rollups: Quick Dinner & Appetizer.
04 -
Lay out 6 low-carb flour tortillas (8-inch) flat on a clean surface. Place 1 slice cheddar cheese on each tortilla, slightly off-center towards one edge. Spoon an even amount of the prepared beef mixture over the cheese.
05 -
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom, ensuring the filling is secure. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the Easy Beef Cheeseburger Rollups: Quick Dinner & Appetizer seam-side down and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
06 -
Transfer the seared rollups to a serving platter. Garnish generously with the 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce and 1/2 medium diced tomato. Serve immediately as a quick dinner or a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to swap cheddar cheese for Monterey Jack or a pepper jack for a little kick. You can also use different low-carb tortilla brands.
02 -
These rollups are fantastic on their own, but also great with a side of extra ketchup, mustard, or even a homemade 'special sauce' for dipping.
03 -
The beef filling can be cooked a day in advance and stored in the fridge. Assemble and sear the rollups just before serving for the best texture.
04 -
For extra crispiness, you can lightly brush the tortillas with a little oil before searing. This helps achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust.
