Instructions:

- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Cheddar Jack cheese evenly over the tortilla.
- Spoon about ¼ of the beef mixture over the cheese, spreading it out evenly but leaving a small border around the edges.

- Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and beef mixture.
Step 4: Bake the Rollups ⏳

- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes , or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy 🍴
