Craving all the goodness of a bacon cheeseburger in a snack that’s cheesy, shareable, and crispy? This buttery garlic bacon cheeseburger rollup is the answer. Tortillas turn light and crunchy in the oven, while cheese oozes inside every garlicky, buttery bite. It’s gooey, golden, and packed with flavor in every mouthful.
I still remember the first round at movie night—my friends finished these off before I could serve drinks. There wasn’t a crumb left, and they all wanted to know how to make them next time.
Savory Ingredients
- Fresh chives: Toss them on for color and a little mild onion zip If you use them grab those bright green bunches
- Mozzarella cheese: Melts oh so gooey Try shredding your own for that stretchy finish
- Cheddar cheese: Old-school cheeseburger flavor that melts smooth Pick sharp or mellow—your call
- Bacon: Go for crispy cooked bacon for smoky, salty crunch Thick cut gives a heartier bite
- Black pepper: Crank some fresh for just a hint of bite
- Salt: A pinch brings everything together Fine grain mixes in best
- Dried parsley: Adds color and boosts that buttery taste Got fresh herbs? Use them
- Fresh garlic: Two cloves make it pop but you do you More or less if you want
- Unsalted butter: Melt some for a rich, easy mix—get the good stuff for best flavor
- Flour tortillas: Grab the softest ones so they don’t crack when you roll Bake up golden and crisp every time
Easy Steps
- Slice and Serve:
- Let the rollups rest a few minutes so that cheese settles. Then cut them into spirals—bite size is best. Pile onto a plate and hand them out while they’re still warm for the ultimate melty cheese pull.
- Final Butter and Bake:
- Make sure to coat the tops with more garlic butter if there’s any left. This gives a shiny, flavorful finish. Bake on the middle rack till they’re bubbly and golden—usually about twelve to fifteen minutes. Keep an eye on them, so they don’t get too dark.
- Roll and Arrange:
- Tightly roll each tortilla from one side, pressing as you go so they hold their shape. Lay them seam-side down on parchment paper on your baking pan.
- Add the Fillings:
- Layer on bacon pieces, then cheddar and mozzarella to cover edge to edge. Sprinkle chives across if you’re including them.
- Butter the Tortillas:
- Sweep garlic butter all over one side of each tortilla, making sure to get to the very edges. This keeps them moist and loaded with flavor all around.
- Prepare Your Workspace:
- Get your oven to 190C and line up your tortillas where you’ll work—makes things fast and easy. Keep your cheeses, bacon, and butter close by.
- Make Garlic Butter:
- Stir melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, pepper, and salt til it smells awesome. Set aside—you’ll use this on every single rollup.

How to Store
How to Store
Pop your leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge—they’ll last up to three days. Warm them back up in a regular or toaster oven for crispy edges again. If you’re in a rush, microwave is fine, but it won’t be quite as crunchy. Or freeze sliced pieces and bake them straight from the freezer whenever you want a quick snack.
Swaps & Tweaks
Need to switch it up? Use whole wheat or gluten free tortillas if that's your jam. Try turkey bacon or veggie bacon for a leaner bite. Want to go cheesy? Swap in pepper jack or Swiss. Toss in herbs like oregano or basil if you’re out of parsley.
