Crispy Beef & Cheese Snack Rolls
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 8 minutes
- Total Time: 28 minutes
- Yield: Makes 18 1x
Ingredients
1 lb (500 g) Lean Ground Beef
1/2 tsp (2 mL) EACH salt and fresh ground pepper
1 tbsp (15 mL) oil
3 large flour tortillas
2/3 cup (150 mL) shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Combine beef, salt and pepper in a bowl; gently mix with a fork until blended (careful not to over-mix). Divide beef mixture into eighteen equal pieces, each about a heaping tablespoonful (15 mL). Place on a plate.
- Cut each tortilla into 6 equal wedges. Working in batches as necessary, place one portion of meat on each wedge and press to flatten and evenly cover tortilla, leaving a thin border all the way around the triangle. Sprinkle with cheese, dividing equally. Starting at the wide end of the wedge, roll up like a croissant squeezing slightly to hold roll shape, ending with the pointed end on the bottom.
- Arrange rolls in air fryer basket spacing them apart, in batches as necessary. Set temperature to 375°F and time for 8 minutes (see Notes). Cook until tortillas are crispy and browned and a digital instant-read thermometer inserted into centre of meat reads 160°F (71°C) at the least. Transfer to a clean plate and let rest for 2 minutes.
Oven variation: Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. If desired, place a wire rack on top. Arrange filled rolls on parchment or rack, spacing them apart. Bake in preheated 425°F oven for about 12 minutes, until tortillas are crispy and browned and a digital instant-read thermometer inserted into centre of meat reads 160°F (71°C) at the least.
Notes
Depending on your air fryer or oven, the cooking time may vary; add 2 to 3 minutes more cooking time, as necessary. It’s important to check the internal temperature with a thermometer to ensure the beef is cooked.
Spice it up! Add 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 mL) dried Italian seasoning, curry powder, steak spice or chili powder to your taste with the salt and pepper.
