Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 lb deli roast beef, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Butter Mixture
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
Au Jus Sauce
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 2 cups water
Optional Garnish
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Lay each large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly layer thinly sliced deli roast beef and shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese over the tortilla, then tightly roll it up to enclose the filling.
- Brush with Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with garlic powder and onion powder. Generously brush this flavorful butter mixture over each rolled tortilla to enhance crispiness and add aroma during baking.
- Bake: Arrange the roll ups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are snug but not touching. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, whisk the au jus gravy mix into 2 cups of water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it becomes rich and fragrant, perfect for dipping.
- Serve: Once baked, slice the roll ups into manageable pieces. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm alongside the au jus dipping sauce for a delicious, shareable meal.
Notes
- Use provolone or mozzarella cheese depending on your preference for a milder or stretchier cheese.
- For extra flavor, you can add horseradish or Dijon mustard inside the roll ups before baking.
- Brush the roll ups generously with the garlic butter mixture to ensure they brown nicely in the oven.
- Serve immediately to enjoy crispy tortillas and warm, melty cheese; leftovers can be reheated but may lose some crispness.
- Make sure to bake seam-side down to prevent the roll ups from unraveling while cooking.
