Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 pinwheels
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup pickles, chopped
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 4 large tortillas
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until it is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled ground beef with the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped pickles, and ketchup. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Lay out one tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spoon a generous portion of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center of the tortilla, spreading it evenly but leaving about an inch of space around the edges.
- Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling stays inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
- Once all the tortillas are rolled, heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the pinwheels seam-side down in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the pinwheels from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing them into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Hamburger Roll Ups Cheeseburger Pinwheels!
