Each tortilla is golden brown with a slightly crispy texture on the outside and filled with two distinct layers: a dark brown shredded beef layer and a creamy, melted white cheese layer that oozes out slightly from the ends. The tortillas are garnished with small green cilantro leaves scattered on top and around the plate. In the background, there is a small white bowl of white dipping sauce, slightly out of focus.

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
  • 1 teaspoon onion 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.

How to Serve

Three rolled tortillas are stacked close together on a white plate, each filled with dark brown shredded meat mixed with melted white cheese that oozes slightly from the edges. The tortillas have a golden-brown, toasted surface with some darker char spots. Small green herb pieces are sprinkled on top of the tortillas and the plate. In the background, there is a white bowl filled with a creamy white sauce, also garnished with green herbs, all set on a wooden cutting board over a white marbled surface.
