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, 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

Warm Tortillas: Microwave each flour tortilla for about 10 seconds to make them pliable and prevent cracking during rolling.
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the roll ups.
Assemble Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat, place 2 slices of provolone on half of it, top with approximately 3 ounces of roast beef, and sprinkle a generous handful of French fried onions. Brush the far edge of the tortilla lightly with olive oil to help with sealing.
Roll and Seal: Starting from the filled end, roll the tortilla up tightly and press the oiled edge to seal. Place the roll up seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all tortillas.
Oil the Roll Ups: Brush the tops and sides of each roll with the remaining olive oil to ensure a crispy, golden crust.
Bake: Bake the roll ups for 8 to 10 minutes at 425°F, rotating the baking sheet halfway through for even browning. Look for golden-brown tortillas with cheese bubbling near the edges.
Prepare Au Jus: While baking, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisking occasionally, and bring to a gentle simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
Rest and Slice: Let the baked roll ups rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes to allow the cheese to set. Then slice each roll into halves or thirds using a sharp serrated knife.
Serve: Arrange the sliced roll ups on a platter and serve immediately with the warm au jus dipping sauce.

Notes

Warming tortillas briefly before assembling keeps them soft and easier to roll without cracking.
Using fresh deli roast beef sliced medium-thin ensures tenderness and ease of rolling.
Brushing olive oil on the tortilla edges and tops is key for sealing and achieving a crispy, golden crust.
The beef consommé-based au jus sauce is richer than regular beef broth, lending authentic French dip flavor.
These roll ups pair excellently with crispy oven fries or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
