Taco Bell Cheesy Roll Up Copycat
As much as I love Taco Bell for a quick meal, anyone and I mean anyone can replicate their dishes and make them taste WAY better than you can buy them for!
It’s also one of the best ideas for small meals to make quickly. Let’s get into how to make these Taco Bell Cheesy Roll Ups!
Best cheese for cheesy roll ups
You need good melting cheese to make bomb cheesy roll ups. I love shredded white Monterey jack cheese, Colby jack, or the Fiesta pack at Walmart.
Shredded cheese cooks fast, making this an easy, quick, perfect finger food.
If you want to go the extra mile, go ahead and locate your nearest Latin Food Market for fresh cheeses and soft tortillas.
Those melt super easy and are perf for cheesy roll ups.
It’s a great way to introduce your baby or toddler to other flavors and expand their pallets too.

best tortillas to use
Use small street taco-style tortillas or tortillas roughly 8 inches.
You are welcome to use whole wheat or corn tortillas as well.
The corn tortillas are less flexible and better for making heavy street tacos.
It’s up to you whether or not you want to make homemade tortillas.
Griddle Assembly
If you are using a griddle, place the tortilla down and let it warm up. Then place your cheese of choice on top.
Let the tortilla warm up enough to melt the cheese.
Then take it off the griddle and let it cool for a minute or two before slowly rolling it up.
