Ingredients
Scale
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
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay a tortilla flat on your clean countertop.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Place 2 slices of provolone cheese over half of the tortilla, then add approximately 3 ounces of freshly sliced roast beef. Top with a generous handful of French fried onions. Brush the inside edge of the tortilla lightly with olive oil to help seal it.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from the filled end, roll the tortilla tightly so all fillings are enclosed. Press the oiled edge to seal and place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas, brushing tops and sides with the remaining olive oil.
- Baking: Bake the roll ups for 8–10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. Bake until tortillas are golden brown and cheese is beginning to bubble.
- Rest and Slice: Remove roll ups from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes on a wire rack before slicing into halves or thirds. Arrange slices on a serving platter.
- Prepare Au Jus Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Heat over medium heat, whisking to blend, and bring to a gentle simmer for 3–4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
- Serve: Serve the sliced tortilla roll ups immediately with the warm au jus dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- Use freshly sliced roast beef for the best texture and flavor.
- French fried onions add a delightful crunch; you can substitute with crispy fried shallots if preferred.
- Make sure to seal the tortilla edges with olive oil to prevent fillings from spilling during baking.
- You can prepare the au jus sauce ahead and gently reheat when ready to serve.
- For a spicier au jus, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
