Ingredients

• 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella or provolone
• 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

• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Lay the tortillas flat and evenly distribute the roast beef and shredded cheese across each one.
3. Step 3: Roll each tortilla tightly from the bottom up, folding in the sides to keep the filling secure.
4. Step 4: Brush the outside of each rolled tortilla with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.
5. Step 5: Bake the roll ups for 12–15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
6. Step 6: Meanwhile, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Simmer for 5–7 minutes to make the au jus dipping sauce.
7. Step 7: Slice the baked roll ups into bite-sized pieces and serve warm with the au jus on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• Use provolone for a milder, creamier cheese or mozzarella for a stretchy, gooey texture.
• Try adding sautéed onions or peppers inside the roll ups for extra flavor and texture.
• For a crispy finish, brush the roll ups with butter twice during baking.
• Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a different taste and added nutrition.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 8-10 minutes to retain crispiness. Keep the au jus sauce separately in a sealed container and reheat gently on the stove before serving.

Instructions

• To make these gluten free, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
• For extra crispy roll ups, broil for 1–2 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
