Roll tightly and seal the edges.

Repeat with remaining wrappers.

Step 3: Bake

Arrange the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

• Allow the beef mixture to cool before rolling.
• Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-packaged cheese.
• Do not overfill the wrappers.
• These roll-ups can be frozen before baking.

Tips for Success

5. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crunch.
