Cheesy Tortilla Meat Bake — golden baked tortilla rolls with seasoned beef and melted mozzarella

All the flavors of tacos and pizza rolled into one golden, cheesy bake. Seasoned beef, melty mozzarella, and pizza sauce wrapped in soft flour tortillas — this Cheesy Tortilla Meat Bake is the weeknight dinner that gets everyone to the table.

Ingredients

  • 500 g beef mince
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup pizza or tomato pasta sauce
  • 2 cups grated mozzarella
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Chopped parsley or spring onions, to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef in a skillet. Add the onion and cook until softened, then stir in the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let cool slightly.
  2. Lay out each tortilla. Spread with sauce, then add spring onion, one-quarter of the beef mixture, and a generous handful of mozzarella.
  3. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log.
  4. Place seam-side down on a lined baking tray. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with extra cheese.
  5. Bake at 200°C (180°C fan) for 20–25 minutes, until crisp and golden.
  6. Cool for 5 minutes, slice, and garnish with parsley or spring onions.

Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside — serve with a simple salad or some sour cream for dipping.
