Main Ingredients
- 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 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
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the roll ups and quick cleanup.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese over half of the tortilla, then add about 3 ounces of freshly sliced roast beef on top. Sprinkle a generous handful of French fried onions over the roast beef. Lightly brush the inside edge of the tortilla with olive oil to help seal the roll.
- Roll and Arrange: Starting from the filled side, roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings. Press the oiled edge firmly to seal the roll. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops and sides of each roll with the remaining olive oil. This will help achieve a crisp, golden exterior when baking.
- Bake: Bake the roll ups in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking if needed to ensure even browning. The tortillas should turn golden brown and the cheese should start bubbling at the edges.
- Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine the beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, low sodium soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisking to combine ingredients thoroughly. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
- Rest and Slice: Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them rest on a wire rack for about 2 minutes. This allows the cheese to set and makes slicing easier. Slice each roll into halves or thirds depending on your serving preference.
- Serve: Arrange the sliced roll ups on a platter and serve immediately with the warm au jus dipping sauce alongside. Perfect for dipping and enjoying the savory combination of flavors.
Notes
- Freshly sliced roast beef works best for optimal flavor and texture.
- Use store-bought French fried onions for convenience or make homemade for extra crispiness.
- Make sure to seal the tortilla edges well with olive oil to prevent fillings from spilling during baking.
- The au jus can be prepared ahead of time and reheated before serving.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture; leftovers can be reheated but may lose crispiness.
