Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Thinly sliced deli roast beef – about 6 ounces
- Flour tortillas (soft and pliable) – 4 large
- Swiss cheese slices – 4 slices
- Au jus mix or beef broth – 1 cup (prepared as per package or warmed broth)
- Dijon mustard – 2 tablespoons
- Butter or oil – 1 tablespoon (for toasting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dip: Combine the au jus mix with hot water according to package instructions or warm beef broth in a small bowl until hot and flavorful, perfect for dipping the roll-ups later.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a surface. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard evenly over the surface. Layer slices of roast beef followed by Swiss cheese evenly across the tortilla.
- Roll It Up Tightly: Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a compact cylinder, ensuring the fillings remain inside without spilling out.
- Toast the Roll-Ups: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Place roll-ups seam side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve with Au Jus: Slice each roll-up into bite-sized pieces if desired. Serve immediately with the warm au jus dipping sauce for an irresistible meal.
Notes
- Choose fresh, soft tortillas to prevent cracking and help hold fillings better.
- Keep au jus warm to maintain a comforting savory dipping experience.
- Do not overstuff the roll-ups to avoid bursting while cooking.
- Use a non-stick skillet for even toasting without sticking.
- Cut roll-ups diagonally for better presentation and easier eating.
