Ingredients

For the Meat Filling

500 g ground beef
2 tortillas large
1 onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp salt to taste
1 tsp pepper powder to taste
fresh parsley a handful, chopped

For Serving

3-4 tbsp yogurt
melted butter for drizzling

Method

Make the Meat Tortilla Rolls

In a bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper powder. Mix well until fully combined.
Lay the tortillas flat and spread the meat mixture in a thin, even layer over each tortilla.
Roll each tortilla tightly into a log.
Slice each rolled tortilla into pieces and thread them onto skewers.
Place the skewers on a baking tray and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until golden and cooked through.
Spread the yogurt on a serving plate.
Arrange the baked meat tortilla rolls over the yogurt.
Drizzle melted butter over the top and serve.

Baking time may vary slightly by oven, so bake until the rolls are lightly golden and heated through.

Notes

Warm the tortillas slightly before rolling if needed to help prevent cracking.
Do not overfill the tortillas, or they may open while baking.
Serve soon after adding the melted butter for the best texture and flavor.

Helpful Tips

Spread the meat mixture in a thin, even layer so the tortillas roll tightly.
Warm the tortillas slightly first if they crack while rolling.
Bake until lightly golden and fully cooked through, since oven times can vary a little.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or air fryer for the best texture. If serving with yogurt, add it fresh when serving for the best result.
