Ingredients
  

  • 6 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 2 lbs 0.9 kg ground beef
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 1 small bell pepper finely diced
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack divided
  • 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar divided
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing
Smoky Chipotle Ranch Sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo minced
  • 1 tsp adobo sauce from the can
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt
Classic Ketchup-Mayo Sauce
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 6 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Cutting board
  • 7x11 inch baking dish
  • Small mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 420°F. Grease the baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the beef, onion, bell pepper, parsley, 1/2 cup of the Monterey Jack, 1/2 cup of the cheddar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly among the tortillas. Press it into a thin, even layer with your fingers, going all the way to the edges.
  4. Roll each tortilla up tightly, then cut each roll into 2 1/2 inch sections.
  5. Stand the sections in the baking dish with the cut side facing up. Brush lightly with olive oil.
  6. Bake 25 to 30 minutes.
  7. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup Jack and 1/4 cup cheddar and sprinkle it over the top. Return to the oven until melted. For extra browning, broil 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely.
  8. For the chipotle ranch, whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Chill for 15 minutes before serving.
  9. For the classic sauce, whisk the ketchup, mayo, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl until smooth.
  10. Serve the roll ups warm with both sauces.

Notes

Shred the cheese from a block if you can. It melts smoother than pre-shredded.
Swap in pepper Jack for a little extra heat.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Ground lamb, chicken, turkey, or pork can replace the beef.
