How to Make Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups

1. Cook the Filling
   Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, onion, and garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Add ground beef, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.

2. Assemble the Rollups
   Lay tortillas flat. Spread the cooked beef evenly over each wrap, leaving space at the edges. Sprinkle cheese on top.

3. Roll and Seal
   Roll the tortillas tightly like a burrito. Place seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

4. Prepare Garlic Butter
   Mix melted butter with minced garlic and parsley. Brush generously over the rollups.

5. Bake
   Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

6. Slice and Serve
   Let cool slightly, slice into rolls, and enjoy warm.
