Directions and Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

- Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture onto the tortillas, then top with shredded provolone cheese.
- Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet.

- Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice into pinwheels or serve whole.
Notes or Tips
- For added flavor, consider marinating the beef in your favorite spices for a couple of hours before cooking.
- Feel free to mix in other vegetables, such as mushrooms or zucchini, for extra nutrition.
- To keep the tortillas from getting too crispy, make sure you don’t overbake them.
Cooking Techniques
Sautéing the vegetables to bring out their sweetness, and rolling the tortillas tightly ensures a delightful eating experience. Baking allows the cheeses to melt and bind everything together, creating a comforting dish that’s both indulgent and healthy.
FAQ
- Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and assemble the roll-ups just before baking.
- Are there any good substitutes for the cheese? Yes, you can use mozzarella or cheddar if you prefer.
- Can I freeze the roll-ups? Absolutely! Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container.
