Ingredients

Scale

Tortilla Roll Ups

  • 4 large flour tortillas, about 12 inches in diameter
  • 8 slices provolone cheese, thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces deli roast beef, freshly sliced
  • 1 cup French fried onions, store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Au Jus Sauce

  • 1 can beef consommé (10.5 ounces)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  2. Assemble Tortillas: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean countertop. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese over half of the tortilla, then layer with approximately 3 ounces of freshly sliced roast beef. Add a generous handful of French fried onions on top for crunch and flavor.
  3. Seal Tortillas: Lightly brush the inside edge of the tortilla with extra virgin olive oil to help it seal. Starting from the filled end, roll the tortilla tightly to enclose all fillings. Press the oiled edge firmly to seal the roll and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  4. Brush with Olive Oil: Brush the tops and sides of each rolled tortilla with the remaining olive oil to promote browning and crispiness during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through. Bake until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese starts to bubble, signaling they are heated through and deliciously melted inside.
  6. Rest and Slice: Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them rest on a wire rack for 2 minutes to firm up slightly. Then slice each roll into halves or thirds for easy serving.
  7. Prepare Au Jus Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, low sodium soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Heat over medium heat while whisking to combine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer for 3–4 minutes until hot and aromatic.
  8. Serve: Arrange the sliced roll ups on a platter and serve immediately alongside the warm au jus sauce for dipping, enhancing the savory, meaty flavors of the roll ups.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can use a lightly oiled air fryer basket instead of baking, cooking at 400°F for 6-8 minutes.
  • French fried onions add a delightful crunch but can be substituted with crispy fried shallots or onions if unavailable.
  • The au jus sauce can be made ahead and reheated just before serving.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the au jus sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
