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 (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. This preparation ensures easy cleanup and prevents the roll ups from sticking.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat on your work surface. On half of the tortilla, evenly place 2 slices of provolone cheese, about 3 ounces of sliced roast beef, and a generous handful of French fried onions. Lightly brush the exposed inside edge of the tortilla with olive oil to help seal the roll.
- Roll and Arrange: Starting from the filled edge, roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings completely. Press the oiled edge firmly to seal the roll. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops and sides of each rolled tortilla with the remaining olive oil. This step helps achieve a crisp, golden-brown finish during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the roll ups for 8–10 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even browning. The tortillas should be golden brown, and the cheese should start to bubble at the edges.
- Prepare 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 the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3–4 minutes until hot and aromatic.
- Rest and Slice: Remove the baked roll ups from the oven and let them rest on a wire rack for 2 minutes. This resting time allows the cheese to set slightly and makes slicing easier. Slice each roll into halves or thirds as desired for serving.
- Serve: Arrange the sliced roll ups on a serving platter and serve immediately with the warm au jus dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy this flavorful appetizer or snack warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tortillas and ensure that the French fried onions are gluten-free.
- Make homemade French fried onions by thinly slicing onions, coating them lightly with flour, and frying until crispy.
- Adjust the seasoning in the au jus to taste, adding more Worcestershire or soy sauce if you prefer a richer flavor.
- These roll ups are best served fresh and warm to maintain their crispiness and melty cheese texture.
