Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
