Better Than Taco Bell Cheese Roll Up Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortilla shells
- 2 cups of freshly grated cheese cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack work great!
- 4 Tbsp butter melted
- 1 tsp garlic salt optional
- ½ tsp garlic powder optional
- 1 tsp taco seasoning optional
- ¼ tsp cumin optional
- 1 tsp dried cilantro optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl or cup, combine your optional seasonings. Then stir to mix. Feel free to add or remove any of the optional seasonings listed above. Shred the cheese if needed, and then mix the cheeses together in a bowl.
- Next, take your tortilla shells, and brush both sides with butter. Sprinkle your seasoning mix on the outside of your tortilla shell. Place seasoned side down and plate, or baking sheet. Add the mixture of shredded cheese, equaling about ½ cup per tortilla. Add in any desired seasonings to the cheese. Then, roll your tortilla shells tightly.
Microwave Method
- To melt the cheese in a microwave, place your prepared cheese roll ups and a microwave-safe plate, and make a wave for 30-second intervals until your cheese is melted. Serve right away and enjoy.
Oven/Air Fryer Method
- To use an oven, or air fryer to melt the cheese in your roll ups, place your prepared tortillas on a baking sheet, then bake at 350°F for approximately 10 minutes, or until the outside of your shells are beginning to turn a golden brown, and the cheese is melted. Serve right away and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, we recommend using freshly shredded cheese, however, you may use prepackaged shredded cheese, if you wish. Also, please note that for a more Taco Bell authentic cheese roll up, you will want to use the microwave method. However, baking your roll ups in the oven makes them even better, without the mushy texture of your tortilla shell.
