Instructions
Preparation
Set the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese over one half, followed by about 3 ounces of roast beef and a handful of French fried onions. Brush the inside edge of the tortilla lightly with olive oil.
Starting at the filled end, roll up the tortilla tightly and press the oiled edge down to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Brush the tops and sides of each roll lightly with olive oil.
Baking
Bake for 8–10 minutes, rotating halfway through, until golden brown and cheese starts to bubble.
Making Au Jus
While roll-ups bake, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, whisking to blend, and bring to a gentle simmer for 3–4 minutes.
Serving
Allow roll-ups to rest for 2 minutes on a wire rack, then slice each roll into halves or thirds.
Serve immediately with warm au jus for dipping.
Notes
These roll-ups can be customized with pepperoncini or sautéed mushrooms. For a vegetarian option, replace meat with roasted vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for best texture.
