Flat Iron Cheeseburger Roll-Ups
Ingredients
For the Cheeseburger Filling
- 1 pound ground beef, 80/20 lean
- 1/2 cup onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic, cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
For the Roll-Ups and Garlic Butter
- 8 flour tortillas, 8-inch
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your flat iron grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the surface is clean and lightly oiled if necessary.

In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and garlic powder. If using fresh parsley, stir it in now. Set aside.

Place the ground beef and diced onion on the preheated flat iron. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until the beef is fully browned and the onion is softened, about 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the grill surface.

Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper into the cooked beef mixture. Cook for an additional 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.

Working in batches (typically 2-3 roll-ups at a time depending on flat iron size), lay the flour tortillas flat. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the cooked beef mixture onto each tortilla, spreading it evenly across the surface, leaving a small border on one edge. Sprinkle generously with about 3 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef.

Starting from one side, tightly roll up each tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a compact roll. Lightly brush the outside of each roll-up with the prepared garlic butter.
⏱️ 2 min

Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the hot flat iron. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, rotating as needed, until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Ensure all sides are browned for even crispness.
⏱️ 7 min

Remove the cooked roll-ups from the flat iron. For easier serving, you can cut each roll-up in half or into smaller pinwheel-like sections. Repeat steps 5-7 with the remaining tortillas, beef, and cheese. Serve warm with your favorite cheeseburger condiments like ketchup, mustard, or pickles, if desired.
