Taco Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 8 small flour tortillas (or large if you want larger rolls)

Instructions:
- Cook the Beef:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic until the meat is browned and the onions are soft.

- Sprinkle cheese over the beef mixture.
- Roll up each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Prepare for Baking:
- Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a baking sheet. If desired, lightly brush them with oil for extra crispiness.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and crispy.
- Serve:
- Let the rolls cool for a few minutes, then slice them into bite-sized pieces. Serve with shredded lettuce and salsa on the side for dipping.
