Equipment

  • Oven or Air Fryer
  • Baking or Air Frying Tray
  • Baking Paper

Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas or 6 medium tortillas
  • ½ cup passata
  • 300 grams grated mozzarella cheese or white cheddar cheese
  • Handful of fresh basil roughly chopped

Beef Mince

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or ghee
  • 50 grams tomato paste
  • 1 medium white onion
  • 1 tsp dried origanum extra for garnishing
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 500 grams beef mince

Garlic Bechamel Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch or flour
  • 350-400 ml warm milk

Instructions

  • If using an oven, preheat to 200℃/405℉. If using an air fryer, preheat 5 minutes at 200℃/405℉ prior to air frying the roll ups.

Beef Mince

  • Bring a large saucepan to a medium-high heat, add oil, diced onion, tomato paste, origanum and salt. Sauté for 3-5 minutes or until the tomato paste starts to darken and the onions are translucent. Add the beef mince and cook until the mince has released most of its moisture and it starts to brown. Set aside.

Garlic Bechamel Sauce

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add the garlic, sauté on a medium-high heat until the garlic starts to change colour. Add the flour and stir using a whisk. Once the flour starts to bubble and turn to a light golden colour, then gradually start pouring in the warm milk, whisking vigorously in-between. Note: throughout this whole process, your priority is ensure the garlic does not darken too much or burn as this will cause the sauce to become bitter. Feel free to add more milk if the sauce is thicker than you'd prefer.

Assembling the Roll Ups *WATCH VIDEO FOR REFERENCE*

  • Prior to rolling ensure the air fryer or oven has reached it's desired temperature. Working quickly, add a strip of tomato passata to the base of the wrap, followed by beef mince, garlic sauce, and finished off with a sprinkle of cheese. Note: remember to be mindful to ensure there's an equal mount filling for each tortilla whilst filling them. Also, you want the majority of the cheese to go on top of the tortilla prior to baking/air frying.
  • Firmly rollup up the tortilla and place on a lined baking tray or air fryer tray. Coat each tortilla with the remaining passata sauce, cheese and dried origanum. Place next to each other on the baking tray, seam side down - you can bake in batches if using a smaller air fryer.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubblingh. Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving with a salad of your choice. Enjoy, tastebud!
