Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (about 12 inches in diameter)
- 8 slices provolone cheese (thinly sliced)
- 12 ounces deli roast beef (freshly sliced, medium-thin)
- 1 cup French fried onions (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Au Jus Ingredients
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) beef consommé
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Warm Tortillas: Warm your tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds to make rolling easier and prevent cracking during assembly.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Set your oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat and place 2 slices of provolone cheese on half of it. Top with about 3 ounces of roast beef and a generous handful of French fried onions. Brush the far edge of the tortilla lightly with olive oil to help seal it.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from the filled end, roll the tortilla up tightly, pressing the oiled edge to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Brush the tops and sides of each roll with the remaining olive oil to ensure a crispy, golden finish during baking.
- Bake Roll Ups: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through for even browning. Look for golden-brown tortillas with cheese beginning to bubble near the edges.
- Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, whisking to blend, and bring to a gentle simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
- Rest and Slice: Let the baked roll ups rest for 2 minutes on the baking sheet so the cheese sets and doesn’t ooze out. Slice each roll into halves or thirds using a sharp serrated knife.
- Serve: Serve the sliced roll ups immediately with the warm au jus dipping sauce for a flavorful experience.
Notes
- Using freshly sliced deli roast beef with medium-thin slices is key for easy rolling and tender texture.
- Warming tortillas briefly helps prevent cracking during rolling.
- Brushing the roll ups with olive oil before baking creates a crispy, golden crust.
- Allowing the roll ups to rest before slicing helps the cheese set and reduces mess.
- Au jus can be made richer with beef consommé instead of regular broth for a more intense flavor.
