Ingredients

• 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for au jus)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder (for au jus)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
2. Step 2: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the thinly sliced roast beef and shredded cheese across each tortilla, leaving about an inch from the edges.
3. Step 3: Roll each tortilla tightly from the bottom, folding in the sides to secure the filling and prevent spilling during baking.

5. Step 5: Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6. Step 6: While baking, prepare the au jus by combining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes to meld flavors.
7. Step 7: Remove the roll-ups from the oven and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm with the au jus on the side for dipping and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Don’t overfill the tortillas to keep the roll-ups intact; about ¼ lb of roast beef per tortilla works well.
• Press and seal the edges with melted butter to prevent filling from escaping during baking.
• Try adding sliced jalapeños or swapping cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
• For a low-carb version, use large lettuce leaves instead of flour tortillas.
• Reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain crispiness instead of using a microwave.

Storage

Store baked roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep them crispy. For longer storage, freeze unbaked roll-ups wrapped tightly for up to 1 month, baking directly from frozen with an added 5 minutes of cooking time.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Roll Ups

• 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

For the Au Jus

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup, which helps achieve a crispy texture on the roll ups.
2. Assemble the Fillings: Lay out the four large flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly spread thinly sliced roast beef and shredded mozzarella or provolone across each tortilla, leaving about an inch clear around the edges to help contain the filling when rolled.
3. Roll It Up: Roll each tortilla tightly from the bottom up, folding the sides inward as you go to secure the filling and prevent spilling during baking. Ensuring a snug roll maintains the shape and makes handling easier.
4. Butter and Season: Brush the outside of each rolled tortilla with melted butter for a golden and crispy finish. Then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley to enhance flavor and aroma.
5. Bake Until Golden: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and cheese inside is melted and gooey. Monitor closely to avoid over-baking which can dry them out.
6. Prepare the Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 to 7 minutes to meld the flavors.
7. Serve with Style: Remove the baked roll ups from the oven and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm with the hot au jus on the side for dipping, making a delicious and interactive dining experience.

Notes

• Do not overfill the tortillas; about ¼ lb of roast beef and a handful of cheese per tortilla helps maintain structure.
• Press tortilla edges firmly and seal with melted butter to prevent filling leakage during baking.
• Keep an eye on baking time to avoid dry, hard tortillas—aim for crispy and golden.
• Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
• Reheat leftovers in the oven for best texture; avoid microwaving which can make tortillas soggy.
• To freeze, wrap unbaked roll ups tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Bake directly from frozen adding extra 5 minutes to cook time.
• Make-ahead options include assembling roll-ups up to 24 hours before baking and refrigerating.
