Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.

3. Roll and Arrange: Tightly roll up each tortilla and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them secure while baking.
4. Season and Butter: Brush each roll up with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley to add flavor and help achieve a golden crust.
5. Bake: Bake the roll ups for 12–15 minutes until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
6. Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups are baking, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Simmer the mixture gently for 5–7 minutes to develop a rich, flavorful dipping sauce.
7. Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice them if desired, and serve warm alongside the au jus for dipping.
