Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the ground meat and pork sausage together in a skillet. Drain off excess fat.

- Remove from heat. Roll the mixture up in soft tortillas. Warm the tortillas if desired before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using turkey sausage or lean ground beef. You can replace Velveeta with shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese for a different flavor. To spice things up, add diced jalapeños or bell peppers to the meat mixture. If you prefer a crunch, serve with a side of Nacho Chips - Hot for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
These roll-ups are great as a quick meal or snack. Serve them with a side of fresh salsa or guacamole for extra flavor. For a complete meal, pair with a light salad or Cara'S Taco Salad. These can also be sliced into bite-sized pieces for a fun appetizer at parties.
