Ingredients
  

  • 4 large flour tortillas 12-inch burrito-sized
  • 4 slices provolone cheese about 4 ounces
  • 0.5 lb deli sliced roast beef sliced thin
  • 0.75 cup French fried onions
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 10.5 oz beef consommé 1 can
  • 0.75 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Medium saucepan
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. If tortillas are stiff, warm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel to make them pliable.
  2. Lay the 4 tortillas on a counter or work surface. Tear each provolone slice into 4-5 smaller pieces and distribute evenly over each tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border around edges.
  3. Place the deli roast beef evenly over the cheese (about 2 ounces per tortilla), then sprinkle the French fried onions over the roast beef (about 3 tablespoons per tortilla).
  4. Working with one tortilla at a time, fold both left and right sides inward about 1 inch, then tightly roll from the bottom edge like a burrito. Brush a small amount of olive oil on the final seam edge to seal it closed, and place seam side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  5. Brush the remaining olive oil over the tops of all roll ups.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Watch during the last 2 minutes to prevent over-browning.
  7. While the roll ups are baking, combine the beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder and garlic powder in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and aromatic.
  8. Remove roll ups from oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Cut each roll up in half diagonally and serve immediately with warm au jus for dipping.

Notes

Use large burrito-sized flour tortillas. If tortillas are not super fresh, warm them in the microwave for a few seconds before assembling to make them more pliable. Get the thinnest sliced roast beef possible from the deli counter (ask for setting 1 or 2). Roll the tortillas as tightly as possible for best results. Don't skip the au jus as it gives these roll ups the authentic French dip sandwich flavor. Don't overfill the tortillas or they won't seal properly. Each serving is 1 whole roll up cut into 2 halves.
