• 3/4 cup French fried onions
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Place one slice of provolone cheese on each tortilla.
3. Layer the deli-sliced roast beef on top of the cheese, dividing it equally among the tortillas.
4. Sprinkle French fried onions over the roast beef, ensuring an even distribution.
5. Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, securing the filling inside.
6. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tortilla roll-ups, seam side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
7. While the roll-ups are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the beef consomme, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes to meld the flavors together.
8. Once the roll-ups are golden and crispy, remove them from the skillet and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
9. Serve the roll-ups hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
