Main Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (about 12 inches in diameter)
- 8 slices provolone cheese (thinly sliced, deli counter preferred)
- 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 Dipping Sauce
- 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: Microwave the flour tortillas for 10 seconds to make them more pliable and prevent cracking during rolling.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (218°C) 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 thinly sliced provolone on one half. Top with about 3 ounces of roasted beef and a generous handful of French fried onions. Lightly brush the far edge of the tortilla with olive oil to help seal.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from the filled end, roll the tortilla tightly, pressing the oiled edge to seal the roll. Place it 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-brown finish.
- Bake: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through to ensure even browning. Look for golden tortillas with cheese beginning to bubble at the edges.
- Prepare Au Jus: While baking, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisking to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
- Rest and Slice: Remove roll ups from oven and let them rest for 2 minutes on the baking sheet to allow cheese to set. Slice each roll into halves or thirds with a sharp serrated knife.
- Serve: Arrange sliced roll ups on a platter and serve immediately with warm au jus dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- Using freshly sliced deli roast beef from the deli counter ensures tender roll ups with the right texture.
- Warming tortillas before rolling helps prevent cracks and makes rolling easier.
- Brushing with olive oil before baking is key for a crispy, golden crust.
- The au jus is enriched with Worcestershire and soy sauce for deeper flavor than typical beef broth.
- These roll ups can be served as an appetizer, snack, or even a light meal paired with crispy oven fries.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently to maintain crispiness.
