Main Ingredients
- Thinly sliced roast beef (high-quality deli roast beef) – about 8 oz
- Flour tortillas (soft and pliable) – 4 large
- Provolone or Swiss cheese slices – 4 to 8 slices
- Beef au jus or broth – 1 cup
- Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce – 2 tablespoons
- Butter or oil (for warming tortillas) – 1 tablespoon
- Onion powder – 1/4 teaspoon
- Garlic powder – 1/4 teaspoon
Optional Variations
- Grilled mushrooms or seasoned jackfruit (for vegetarian version) – as needed
- Sliced jalapeños or sriracha – to taste
- Alternate cheese options: sharp cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack – as desired
- Gluten-free tortillas (corn or gluten-free flour tortillas) – 4 large
- Fresh thyme or rosemary (for herb-infused au jus) – 1 teaspoon fresh herbs
- Prepare the au jus: Warm your beef au jus or broth in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add a pinch of onion powder and garlic powder, stirring occasionally to enhance the savory flavors while you assemble the roll-ups.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Warm each tortilla for about 20 seconds per side until soft and pliable to prevent cracking when rolling.
- Layer the fillings: Place a tortilla flat and evenly layer sliced roast beef, followed by one or two slices of provolone or Swiss cheese. Spread a light layer of Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce if desired for added zing.
- Roll and secure: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, keeping the filling inside. Secure with a toothpick if needed to prevent unrolling during serving.
- Optional warming: For extra melty cheese and a slight crisp, place roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese melts and edges turn golden.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced roast beef for tender, easy-to-bite roll-ups.
- Avoid overfilling the tortillas to keep roll-ups neat and avoid bursting.
- Warm tortillas gently to avoid cracking and ease rolling.
- Serve with classic au jus and/or spicy dipping sauces for varied flavors.
- Slice roll-ups before serving if offering as appetizer or snack.
