Tips & Variations

  • Use a mix of mozzarella and provolone for a richer cheese flavor.

  • Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a different twist.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes or until warmed through. The au jus can be refrigerated separately and reheated on the stove before serving.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley. Stir well to mix the flavors evenly.
  2. Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay out each flour tortilla on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the roast beef slices over each tortilla, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese.
  3. Roll the Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a cylinder, ensuring the filling stays inside. Place them seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced deli-style roast beef or leftover roast beef for best texture.
  • Substitute mozzarella with provolone or another mild melting cheese if preferred.
  • Ensure the tortillas are tightly rolled to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • The au jus can be made a day ahead and reheated before serving.
  • For a crispier texture, broil the roll ups for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
