Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Microwave the flour tortillas for about 10 seconds to make them more pliable and prevent cracking during rolling.
  3. Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat and place 2 slices of provolone cheese on one half. Add about 3 ounces of thinly sliced roast beef over the cheese, then sprinkle a generous handful of French fried onions on top. Lightly brush the far edge of the tortilla with olive oil to help seal the roll.
  4. Roll the Tortillas: Starting from the filled side, roll the tortilla up tightly, pressing the oiled edge to seal. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all four tortillas.
  5. Oil the Roll Ups: Brush the tops and sides of each tortilla roll with the remaining olive oil to help achieve a crispy, golden crust during baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the roll ups in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even browning. Look for golden-brown tortillas with melted, bubbling cheese at the edges.
  7. Prepare the 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 heat, whisking to blend, and bring to a gentle simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and aromatic.
  8. Rest and Slice: Allow the baked tortillas to rest for 2 minutes on the baking sheet so the cheese can set. Then slice each roll into halves or thirds using a sharp serrated knife for easy serving.
  9. Serve: Arrange the sliced roll ups on a platter and serve immediately with the warm au jus dipping sauce for a delicious and savory appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Using freshly sliced deli roast beef from the deli counter ensures tenderness and easier rolling.
  • Warming tortillas before assembly prevents cracking and makes rolling easier.
  • Brushing olive oil on the edges and tops of the roll ups creates a crispy, golden crust when baked.
  • The au jus sauce made with beef consommé provides a richer, deeper flavor compared to regular beef broth.
  • Resting the roll ups after baking helps the cheese to set, preventing it from oozing out when sliced.
  • These roll ups pair well with crispy oven fries or a fresh side salad to balance flavors and textures.
