Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Garlic Butter:
Mix melted butter minced garlic dried parsley salt and black pepper together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Make sure no clumps of garlic remain.
Prep the Tortillas:
Lay each flour tortilla flat on your work surface. If they seem a little stiff microwave them for about ten seconds to make them flexible and easy to roll.
Assemble the Rollups:
Brush the entire surface of each tortilla with a generous layer of the garlic butter mixture ensuring you reach all the way to the edges. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over each tortilla then add the shredded cheddar and mozzarella making sure the filling goes right to the sides. Finish with fresh chives if you like.
Roll the Tortillas:
Working from one end tightly roll up each tortilla into a firm spiral keeping tension so it stays together. Place seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent unrolling.
Bake the Rollups:
Brush the tops of the rollups with any remaining garlic butter for extra flavor and a glossy finish. Slide the tray on the middle rack of a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for twelve to fifteen minutes until the tortillas are crisp and deep golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Serve:
Let the rollups cool for a few minutes so the cheese settles. Use a sharp knife to slice each rollup into bite-sized rounds and arrange on a platter for sharing.
